so, I've got a Predator 17 and gradually during the last month all my games (save three) have become unplayable. They all start up, I see the icon in the task bar and I hear the audio from the game but they either start "invisible" or as a white window (in some cases I can even mouse over where I know the buttons are on the menu and click them so the games do start up). I've tried updating my nvidia drivers, a complete reset of the whole computer and a clean reinstall of windows 10 but none of those worked. BioShock, Guild Wars 2 and Grim Fandango remastered are the only games I am still able to play with no problems and if it matters, these are the games I've tried:
World of Warcraft (worked three weeks ago by editing the config.wtf to force the game to start in windowed mode, but that trick doesn't work anymore)
Grow Home (worked by setting the launch option to windowed, otherwise it showed a white screen)
Grow Up (invisible both fullscreen and windowed)
House Flipper (invisible fullscreen, white in windowed)
Warframe (the little start-up window shows up as a white square but if I click where I know the start button is, the game starts up like normal)
A few months ago I also started having the problem when the screen doesn't turn on during start-up but the computer itself turns on, so I'm forced to restart it by holding down the power button.
I'm not a tech savvy person so I'm not sure what info you'd need to help me figure this out but here is some of what dxdiag tells me:

To me it seems wierd that display 1 uses the intel card but display 2 (which I don't have, to my knowledge lol) uses the nvidia card... any help is appreciated, thanks.
