    I reinstalled windows on my aleinware m14x r2 in order to activate the ssd cache drive. When I installed the latest intel hd graphics 4000 driver i get a error saying Dekstop windows manager has stopped working, and Windows aero wont work. To fix this problem I installed the older version of the intel graphics driver from the disc. Although once I install the old version the 2 usb 3.0's won't work. Is there a fix to this? Oh and when I try to install the intel usb 3.0 drivers it wont do it, and always says i have to restart or something

    Always try to use the DELL drivers on this machines (at least the DELL video drivers) those work better with Optimus and will cause less issues.
