My galaxy book ultra i9 is BSOD when it seems it is supposed to switch from Intel GPU to the nvidia GPU. i notice it doesn't switch when i specified to switch and then it will BSOD.
When i first got this laptop it BSOD within the first 30 minutes. so i did a complete reset of win 11 and it seemed to work great for a week, but then it started to BSOD again.
Not sure if there is a BIOS update for this issue or an updated Nvidia driver? I am current with all my updates,and did not install most of the samsung Apps as they seemed to serve zero purpose other than to drain my battery.
I might add the inability for the laptop to switch graphic cards automatically always seems to happen after i hibernate. if i do a reboot, it works great but once i hibernate it tends to hang and eventually will crash my programs when it tries to switch but unable to.

Idk I'm really happy with my book 3 ultra i9. I guess people expect more from Samsung probably but the design of the book series is so perfect in terms of aesthetics which is party of the reason. + Continuity with the galaxy ecosystem. I guess for someone who might not be deep in the Samsung jungle wouldn't find all these specs on paper appealing. I think it does a good job for what it's supposed to do
I love my galaxy book 4 as well, just don't like the BSOD. I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers and reinstalled them and so far no issues. I am wondering if when i reset everything that maybe it installed the windows generic nvidia driver instead of the samsung nvidia driver.
of course it has only been a couple of days since i did it, so who knows.
