I'm losing hope after trying everything I read in the articles. Everywhere, not just Tom's Hardware...
CMD utilities, rolling back, updating, checking for specific versions, etc.
I'm using an HP pavilion dv6, GPU is ATI 5650. Windows 7 ultimate x64.
I rolled back to the standard VGA driver, installed recommended AMD drivers again, latest version, everything worked fine for a day, then I went back to having a blue screen.
The problem occurs especially when playing web videos. Display card stops responding, screen freezes, then a BSOD happens.
Even Photoshop won't work properly for not being able to load certain modules. Everything just lags.
I would happily rollback to the standard VGA driver, but then I won't be able to connect another monitor because apparently the VGA port stops working. Bad user experience overall.
I also tried downloading version 8 of the driver but then I discover on install that it's version 15 which confused me. Could the problem be that the driver is "too updated" for the GPU?
So, what's the solution? I can't afford to buy a new laptop.
