What games can my Lenovo Z50 run?

It uses Nvidia GeForce GT840M. Can I upgrade it to run next gen games like Witcher 3 and Dying Light?

Added (1). I heard there was a major difference between GT and GTX so I was concerned

Internet has all of a sudden become spotty?

I moved into a new house about 3 weeks ago, and 4 days ago my internet started to become extremely spotty. It either doesn't work, or is extremely slow.

The internet still works fine for all my other roommates, I ran a bunch of virus protection scans (it didn't detect any bugs), and I reset the router.

I'm out of ideas on what might be going on with it. Any suggestions?

I have a Lenovo Windows 8.1, for what it's worth.

Can i create a system image backup for my hard drive that has Bad Sectors?

Today I found out that there were bad sectors detected on my Lenovo t430.

I backed up folders, but I wanted to create a system image and put it on my 1TB seagate harddrive.

The system image was backing up fine until the last part when it gave me an error and said that it failed. Apparently there was an issue with the I/O ports (error 0x8078012D)

It told me to run scndsk for the external hard drive which i did and it seemed fine.

So the question is… Did the error result from the image trying to access the bad sectors? Or was it the external hard drive like the error message seems to think.

It still stored most of the system image on the disk (like 240/275 GBs it was suppose to store). I imagine it is now partially imaged. I'm running a new image now.

Also… Does this mean that 35GB of my hard drive is corrupt with bad sectors… And that's how much I will lose if I attempt to use the Lenovo Bad Sectors repair tool?

Or does the system image stop when it gets to the first bad sector (and therefore it doesn't reflect possible good sectors that could come after it).

Some help would be appreciated. I don't want to lose all my program files that I need for classes tomorrow.

Is it possible to enable Onboard Graphics along with an Integrated Graphics card?

I've been going at this all day and I'm stuck. I'm trying to connect TWO monitors to my PC. See specs below. I have a DVI-D going from my Dell LCD Monitor to my AMD Radeon Graphics card DVI-D Port and my Westinghouse LCD Monitor to my Onboard Graphics Card D-SUB Port. DVI-D Cable works on both monitors. VGA Cable works as well for both when AMD Graphics are not NOT installed.

Basically:

Dell LCD > DVI-D > AMD Radeon HD 7750

Westinghouse LCD > VGA > Onboard Graphics

I just installed the AMD Graphics card today and it seems to override the Onboard Graphics to the point that when the Card is in, the Onboard Graphics Card does not display in the Device Manager, though the AMD Card does show up.

Is it possible to enable both cards at the same time so that I may use two monitors? Or am I wasting my time?

Specs:

Dell Monitor #E198WFPv
Westinghouse Monitor #L1975NW

Lenovo PC Tower
Windows 7 Professional
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Installed Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7750 Graphics

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will I lose data running ChkDsk?

My computer blue screeened recently so I brought it to the school repair store. The guy ran a hard drive scan and at the very last step…

… A message popped up saying "Bad sectors" were detected. I can run the Lenovo Bad Sector Repair tool… But it could risk losing data.

I've also heard to run chkdsk from cmd> Apparently it will attempt to locate and repair bad sectors if possible. Is this the same thing as the repair tool? Or is it different.

Is chkdsk a way to try to repair bad sectors without losing data… Or does it also risk losing data.

BAD SECTORS (Hard Drive)?

My computer first blue screened a couple weeks ago.

It blue screened the other day. All memory was fine both times.

But I fear it will do it again. I updated the BIOS and the computer was working fine since yesterday.

I brought it to the school computer repair center and they ran some sort of hard drive scan. It almost passed, but at the last second, it displayed an error message saying "BAD SECTORS".

The guy told me I could lose data but he's not really sure how much. I could repair it using the tool. My understanding is that the computer renders those parts of the hard drive useless so no data is stored (But your hard drive space is reduced)

I'm afraid of losing alot of data (I have my school files backed up… But I don't want to lose my programs).

I have a 1TB seagate external hard drive and can backup all files it seems (~50GB). But it will take days and I'm not sure if when i reload it to my computer the program files will be whole or in pieces. (It uses Instant Backup) I only selected to backup certain files since backing up the whole thing.

I have some time here. I can't repair the bad sectors and hope it runs fine. I need to do work for school using software. I can also wait a couple days and backup All files to my external hard drive.

Or i can do the repair now and hope it doesn't delete data.

What are your recommendations?
Update: By the way.
