...about reformatting or reinstalling windows every five days or 1 week effects...
unless you have LEDs configured to shine and pulse as your system works i don't see how you'd get any effects coming from it.
Just f'ing with you

guessing you mean, if it will affect any of your components. it will lead to some more wear on your hard drives but shouldn't be anything they can't handle. most are geared for 1000s of hours of heavy use. a lot will claim you should replace them after 5 years of ordinary use but they are designed for wayyy more. as for CPU and other components it's not really any more processing than any other task would require so it shouldn't affect them at all.
why would you be reformatting and reinstalling every week?

you need to configure it to always use your dedicated AMD 7600M graphics card and not use the discrete Intel onboard graphics. try right-clicking on desktop and seeing if you have Catalyst Control Center installed. if so, there is a Performance mode option that should disable your onboard Intel graphics. also if you haven't, look for a setting in the BIOS that asks for graphics option and change it from onboard to PCIe.

can try setting up drivers and configuration suite through this for your dedicated AMD Radeon GPU. link to full Catalyst Control Center:

if this doesn't help i recently saw an article with the exact same type of problem which might lead to a solution for you:

A better way to do this is to build a good configuration. Get it how you like it.
Then create an image of. Save that on a different drive.
Now, do it again with another config.

That way, you go back to exactly how it was, no 'reinstall' needed.
