    Is there a way to tell if one of my graphics cards is going bad ? I play 2 games and seems that one of them at the sign in screen I will get flickering and no problems with the other one. There both downloaded games. The one I seem to be having problems with is called Utherverse and the one I don't is 2nd Life.. Both my graphics cards say there running fine.. Any ideas what could be going on ?

    Are they separate cards or is one builtin?

    From MSI laptop test:
    If you can select either manually - surely you can find which is failing?

    It was not switching automatically and think that was the problem.. I was playing 2nd life about 2 hours ago and when I started the game up I got a notice from 2nd life that my graphics card was changed from the intel one to the Geforce one never got that notice before on this laptop. So I decided to go back to the game I was having issues with and works fine now. I did not know you could switch manually. I found out how to and have all my games set to the GeForce and all the basic internet stuff set to intel.. thanks for the help retiredlearner..
