    Hello guys. I have a problem with my Alienware mx18r2. One of the two vga 7970m burned. I was wondering if I can switch on the second one that still works. I cannot open my laptop. Is there any way to switch the vga by software, deactivating the other one, without opening the laptop?
    Thank you.

    You must open and switch the gpu1 and gpu2 places. Its not possible to do it by software.
