I've an Acer laptop with Windows 7 64 bit and an ATI Radeon HD 6550M Graphics card. Whenever I connect the power to charge the battery it automatically switches to the high-power GPU (ATI) instead of the low-power (Intel) GPU.
There's an option in the bios to stop such thing but it makes the GPU runs always on high-power and I can't switch to the low-power GPU.
How can I prevent the switchable graphics from automatically using the high-power GPU when charging?
