I have an HP Model 2000-329WM Laptop purchased January 6th 2012 from walmart for originally right under 400 dollars, here is a link to said laptop. http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Black-15.6-2000-329WM-Laptop-PC-with-AMD-Dual-Core-E350-Processor-Windows-7-Home-Premium/17218904
Now What has happened is my lap top used to play 1080p video and hd movies NO PROBLEM, but I did a "clean install" of windows 7 home premium x64 with an iso I found on http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net, to rid myself of the pre-bundled junk that comes stock with every laptop. All went smoothly, and activated.
My first time around I just installed the lan driver, plugged it in and let windows update do its 100+ updates and it found all drivers... but whenever I try watching a 720p or 1080p video on youtube, or try watching a movie in fullscreen I get severe lag and screen tearing. even clicking a window and moving it around the screen induced lag and tearing.
So, I went to Hp's website and let its software find all drivers for my model and I downloaded and installed them all manually. Still laggy video.
So I went to Ati's website and downloaded their newest catalyst video driver finder which scanned my system and installed the newest drivers for my device, still laggy video.
I have even reformatted AGAIN, and installed all drivers from the manufacturer sites individually, still poor video.
At this point Ive thrown my my hands up, I don't know what to do beyond this, is HP just pissed and this is some sick joke to punish me from removing all their crap no one wants? (lol) Can anyone think of some other reason why my video performance has taken a hit? In my experience a clean install with the newest drivers installed improves performance, not decrease it.
