Alienware M17 not using nVidia graphics card
For some reason even after changing my settings in the nvidia control panel to use the high performance nvidia processor for certain games, my alienware refuses to change graphics card and instead Is running everything on its Inegrated graphics HD 4000. All the solutions I have seen online haven't helped me switch cards and the last thing I haven't done is gone into my BIOS and tried to manually switch it which I am not to sure how to do. I have the 2012 alienware m17, any and all help would be appreciated!

I looked in my BIOS and it was definitely detected. One thing I noticed is that when I boot up my laptop it displays that "AC adapter is not supported" and was shown as unknown in the bios. Could this cause the game and my computer to disregarded my discrete graphics card and only run on i?
