1 - Make sure the right video card is showing in the device manager
2- Check the temps of the video cards and PC's CPU.
For CPU stress test:
Run a CPU stress test using the Support Assist tool to check how high the CPU temperature goes. If you do not have Support Assist installed in your computer, click here for the download link. Follow the steps below to run the stress test.
Download and install Dell Support Assist
Open Dell Support Assist
Click Checkup
Click Scan a Specific Device
Click System Devices
Select the CPU Stress Test and Run it. This Test will load the CPU and Ram to 100% and test it. It will make enough heat to determine if the processor is overheating or not.
I cannot believe it. All I had to do, for anyone who has an issue in the future, I just had to reset my comp, hit F2 as it booted to go into BIOS screen. At the bottom it said to hit F9, so I pressed it to restore to default (hit yes when prompted), then it took me back to the screen, I then hit escape, save and continue, and BAM it loaded and is running faster than even when I got it.

Also check the version of your drivers. There has been a new release from Invidia.
