    GPU not working when booting live from sdcard

    When i try to boot any live option (from sd card) beside failsafe, the system pretty much works until the gui is supposed to show up. It doesnt, just every pixel gets some random color. The thing about my dedicated gpu is that it kind of isnt working. I was using the integrated one for ages now (works fine with win7). Gui works properly when booting with failsafe mode. I presume that the system wont realize it should be using the integrated one or something. The same .iso file i am using works perfectly in vmware.

    Informations that might be useful:

    Kali version:
    2017.1 64 bit (i really hope thats the information i am supposed to write here)
    Computer:
    HP elitebook 8460p
    processor:
    intel core i7-2620m

    Thanks upfront for any advice.

    You didn't write the model of your dedicated graphic card. Is it Nvidia?
