Acer Aspire R5-571TG How can I disable the GeForce 940MX???

This laptop used to be hackintoshed and running on macOS 10.12.6, but I couldn't continue using it because the GeForce 940MX would not disable, and the fans for the GPU would run and completely drain the battery.

In the process of attempting to disable it, I completely screwed up my ACPI tables to the point where MacAISL would not even open it up and compile it.

I really want to hackintosh this laptop, but after banging my head on the audio issues, graphics issues, and the overall quirks the machine had, I switched back to KDE neon.

EDIT: I thought I had the GPU disabled, but I had only tricked macOS to make it look like it was disabled.

if anybody has any insight on the situation with the graphics card, I would be forever grateful.
