Hello felleDon,

I would first suggest updating your video drivers and system BIOS to the latest released on the drivers and Downloads page: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/precision-m4700/drivers

As this system is capable of using a discrete video card as well as the on board Intel video there are a 2 video drivers that will be required for install / update.

When updating the video drivers I would first recommend uninstalling the current video drivers from the device manager and removing any software associated with them. Then install the Intel driver first followed by the nVidia/AMD, depending on your configuration.
