Hello, im using a SAMSUNG Notebook, 64 bit Windows 8 laptop with switchable graphics (Intel R 4000 and AMD Radeon 7670M)

As soon as i bought my laptop i noticed that by default, it was clocked extremely low and i attempted to clock it to suitable rates, however no clocking programs can detect my AMD Radeon 7670M nor clock it.
Is there anyway i can clock it?
Picture of GPU-Z detailing information
Picture of MSI Afterburner - Showing 0mz and cannot be clocked higher
(Note that other programs like EVGA Precision, ASUS GPUtweak, Sapphire Trixx etc also show 0mhz and cannot be clocked)
Further information if helpful: I did some random things (Which i wrote down and failed to re-create in future) to my graphics card that actually allowed these programs to detect it and clock it successfully, but on restarting and shutting off my computer, it stops working and returns back to displaying 0mhz and becoming redundant.

I've also tried updating my drivers, configuring the properties of MSI Afterburner, older versions of these clocking programs and extended clocking limitations extension as well as multiple threads online which have a similar problem (to no avail though)

I'm going to really recommend against attempting to overclock the graphics card in a laptop since there is no way to dissipate the extra heat generated. Unless you have a load on the graphics that cannot be handled by the HD4000, there will be no speed nor usage of the 7670 (which sits idly by waiting for real work). Put a load on the graphics by running Unigine Heaven - available here http://unigine.com/products/heaven/download/ and keep an eye on the GPU temps and activity. I would think you will find the graphics responds as well as it's capable of in it's environment and there won't be much thermal headroom available for clocking. Using a cooling pad may help some but I still doubt the ability of the laptop to dissipate the added...

post 1: it performs pretty badly, 5-20frames in 2010-12 titles

post 2: As mentioned in my post, it sometimes randomly works and doesn't work. When it was operational, my gpu temperature did not exceed 60c and never crashed. Tho it does feel pretty warm so i guess by default it shouldn't be clocked

My card started to work again and now the clocking programs are detecting it o_O

I have no idea how it dosen't actually get detected then suddenly works again, but it just dosen't work and does work ?
Thanks for the help everyone :D
