BSOD that started occuring after playing

The newest. Install it like you normally do.

I removed the drivers in safe mode, and re-installed them using the installer provided by HP, and the BSOD happened again. There are again two GPUs in Device Manager, AMD Radeon HD 7670M and AMD Radeon HD 7660G + HD 7670M Dual Graphics, so the installation was successful.

Disable the GPU in device manager, see if that makes a difference with stability.

 

[Derpetting]

That's one of the first thing I've given a try on - I disabled the GPU there, and it worked but then Windows detected the device again and the BSOD occured again. Did you mean that, or something else?

 

[axe0]

That sounds like you tried to uninstall it.

Windows cannot detect a device that is already detected yet disabled. It is impossible for windows to use a disabled device.

 

[Derpetting]

Oh yeah, might be that. I'll give disabling a try - it's the Dual Graphics one I need to be disabling?

 

[axe0]

Either of them, it doesn't really matter which one a.t.m.

 

[Derpetting]

I disabled AMD Radeon HD 7660G + HD 7670M Dual Graphics using safe mode (as normal mode won't work). Now I have a yellow exclamation mark next to the Radeon HD 7670M, and Windows recognizes my GPU as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter". What should I attempt now?

EDIT: Also tried disabling the HD 7670M, and enabling the Dual Graphics only - Dual Graphics has no exclamation mark (just the green icon with a PC representing a GPU), and GPU's still recognized as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

EDIT2: Again, I tried enabling only the HD 7670M and this time it didn't have the exclamation mark. However, it was still a Basic Display Adapter and I went ahead and tried enabling them both at a time - boom - a BSOD happened.

 

[axe0]

Sounds like an issue with switching from dGPU to iGPU. This is not a solution, but it gets rid of the BSOD.

 

[Derpetting]

Are there any possible solutions for this problem, or is it a problem with the hardware? I'd preferably use the dedicated GPU instead of integrates (as you may expect).

 

[axe0]

Oops, forgot to post the method

In device manager, disable the iGPU and see how it goes with stability and performance.

 

[Derpetting]

No worries!
Which option in Device Manager is that? On graphics cards there are just the two ones I mentioned before, and enabling either one of them just makes Windows recognize it as basic display adapted (but I didn't restart the PC after that, though, if that affects it). Enabling both of them at a time causes BSOD.

 

[axe0]

Keep only the AMD Radeon HD 7670M enabled.

 

[Derpetting]

Hey, I tried doing that and there are no crashes or BSOD, but it's still Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. Could it just be a hardware failure, or do you have more things to give a try on?

 

[axe0]

That's the best that can be done.
