Hello...

i have a dell inspiron 7520, amd 7730m, win 8.1

So recently my laptop started showing bsod i was running win 10 at the moment, so i updated my intel/amd drivers( the proper way) but the problem persisted, so i installed a fresh copy of win 8.1
and installed latest intel and amd(crimson) drivers, so the bsod stopped but now i cant play anything whenever i start a game it runs but shows glitchy/pixelated/noisy picture and then crashes and gives error 'application is blocked from accessing graphic hardware' or something like that, rite now iam running leschat 15.4 i also tried leschat 15.11 but same problem...what u guys thnk the gpu is fried or is it software problem...
thanks

Before saying it is a hardware problem, I would run and install all of the Windows updates that are available for your copy of Win 8.1, except for Win10 update. It could be that the latest graphic card drivers that were just installed need to see a certain other Windows update installed to function correctly in game. Also, do you have to switch from the intel to the amd graphics card when starting a game or does the software take care of it for you? Maybe run a direct X diagnostic or other tool to test the version that is running on your system.
