QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jun 24 2011, 07:02 PM) ^ Yes cause currently ur laptop is using Intel GPU. Only for demanding games or program then only ur laptop will use the Nv Gt540M. This tech is called Nvidia Optimus. Google it to learn more. Btw Blue = Intel GPU White = Nvidia GPU is there a way i can configure it so that it will always used the nv gt540m?

QUOTE(jusjus88 @ Jun 24 2011, 11:59 PM) Just beside your power button  There should be a blue light. When you start your PC, if it's in Default mode - it should be in blue light. When your GPU kicks in, White light will pop out  u mean the one in between the caps lock and power? there is an indicator but it was never lit, whats wrong with it?
