Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with the graphics card and wish to determine whether this is a software or a hardware issue.
System: Win7 64x, Intel i3 4010U + ATI R5 M240 1GB graphics card.
Installed latest Intel drivers (yes, installed them first), then latest ATI from the AMD website (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit), as the latest AMD drivers on the Acer website would not even start CCC - gave an error "Catalyst control center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using".
The system is running fine when on integrated graphics, but when the dedicated one is powered up the display driver starts crashing and graphics corrupt.
See screenshots while testing in Passmark Performance test.

Passmark is indeed running on the AMD card, as the test results are labeled as "AMD R200 card", not Intel HD.
I have tried installing older driver versions, Acer ones, AMD website ones, modded ones, issue always persists.
Cleaned up drivers with DDU before switching as well.
Please advise.
