I fixed the issue by disabling hybrid graphics in the bios and basically forcing it to use only the NVIDIA card all the time. @monamipierrot I fixed mine by following this procedure: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04070522 It disabled the integrated graphics and booted up in 800X600 downloaded/installed a bunch of drivers then required a restart. After the restart, everything was back to normal except only using the NVIDIA card.
I haven't tried re-enabling hybrid graphics to see if it will function as intended (switching between cards as necessary) but I'm fine with running off of the dedicated card.
