Hello,
I am currently using a Dell Vostro 3560 Laptop for work, specs below.
Specifications
Dell Vostro 3560Notebook: Dell Vostro 3560 (Vostro 3560 Series)
Processor: Intel Core i5 3210M
Graphics Adapter: AMD Radeon HD 7670M 1024 MB
Display: 15.6 inch, 16:9, 1920x1080 pixels, glossy: no
OS: Windows 7
Everything was fine until a few months ago when I decided to update the discrete AMD GPU Display Drivers. The new drivers either did not work or could not detect the GPU (I also think there may be clash between the On-board Graphics and the Discrete Graphics).
When I install the new AMD Drivers I get no driver at all i.e. not even the On-board chipset works. So I end up getting the solidish blue task bar instead of Aero.
If I uninstall all AMD drivers I can get the On-board Graphics to run, which is fine, but it is nowhere near as smooth as it used to be.
I initially thought maybe it was just a bad driver but I just tried again, months later, and it is still the same result.
I have tried to use device manager to manually disable the On-board Grapics but it still doesn't make any difference.
Admittedly, I have much more experience on PCs rather than Laptops but installing a new driver should be pretty universal...
Any help would be appreciated and just let me know if you need any specific diagnostics run to identify the issue.
Thanks, Michael.
