If I am not mistaken, this model comes with NVIDIA Optimus technology and that could be the problem. This should easily be fixed if you go into your NVIDIA control panel and change the graphics processor preferences. I would recommend setting up each game separately or just put it to always use your NVIDIA graphics and not the Intel.

For more information on the NVIDIA Optimus technology, please review the following articles:
