Hello, so yesterday I was playing a game on my Lenovo T500. The game is very demanding for my laptop, but with the lower settings i can manage to get over 30 fps. Suddenly when i was about to click a button, my pc froze and crashed. I turned it on again, but my screen stayed black (my laptop turned on it was just my screen that simply didn't show anything). I had encountered that problem before, and i fixed it by pressing the power button for 2 seconds to send my pc into hibernation mode, and when I turned it on again the logon screen was displayed normally. When i logged on a window popped up saying something about catalyst not supporting the current graphics card or driver, and that i had to update the driver or enable a AMD graphics card. Previously I had fixed this by disabling and then enabling my ATI mobility Radeon HD 3650 graphics card (All this had happened before when razer game booster had disabled some AMD catalyst control stuff when I launched a game).
But this time when I re-enabled my graphics card my screen went dark for a few seconds and rebooted. I tried again several times, but with the same result each time: my PC rebooting and my good graphics card not working. My laptop got 2 graphics card, the second being an intel card useless for gaming. Then I checked the device manager. It said that my radeon hd 3650 had the error code 43. I searched the internet how to fix this and have tried reinstalling my drivers, updating all drivers on my laptop, updating via windows update, updating BIOS, but none have fixed the error code. I have tried reinstalling catalyst, but it didn't help either.
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel core 2 duo CPU T9400 @2.53GHz @2.53GHz
4GB of RAM (3.90 usable)
Sorry if the english is bad.
Edit: Think my card has taken farewell.
