Hi
I have a Dell Studio 1645 laptop with a Radeon HD 4670 graphics card installed. The mouse pointer freezes soon after boot up and the keyboard is also unresponsive. The only solution is to restart the laptop and the problem repeats itself..
I have installed linux mint alongside Windows 7 and everything is fine.
I have reinstalled the graphics driver but still the problem persists. Do I have a faulty card or is it a driver problem? Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Alan
 
Solution
Could be a bad card, did you try a clean Windows 7 setup? A bad video card can run on basic drivers like what a Linux setup would load, when Windows tries to load drivers that use more features, it could be locking it up.
