Help regarding AMD dual graphic disabling

[popeye]

Yes i had selected the advance mode only
And yes i had resetted the BIOS
What i think is that i should remove and reinsert the card
Is there any utility with which i can check whether both of them are working or not

The "card" is most likely soldered to the motherboard. They experimented with removable graphics cards for awhile in laptops but it has pretty much died out.

Even if it isn't permanently soldered to the board removal won't be easy. I doubt there is an access panel so you'd have to remove the whole bottom half of the lower section. Other than device manager I'm not sure what to check. You could have a look though your manual to see if there are any factory installed diagnostics to run.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, I don't have any other suggestions at this point.

Ops, looks like I goofed up a bit. I'm running AMD Catalyst Version 14.4, not 14.7. I'm not sure why I thought it was 14.7? If you are running 14.7 maybe try 14.4 instead. I think 14.7 is RC , release candidate/beta, so maybe 14.4 will work for you. Something else I noticed is if I right click the Catalyst Icon in the notifications area I get a Configure Graphics and a Configure Switchable Graphics options.

This is what I get. This is with version 14.4 downloaded from AMD, not from ASUS.

Have a look at this, http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2598-screenshots-files-upload-post-eight-forums.html?filter. If you do it this way the images are clickable and easier to view. I had to zoom to see yours. It's debatable as to whether its any easier than how your doing it now, but it makes it a lot easier for those trying to help to view them.

OK now your getting somewhere. Now all we have to do is figure out how to turn it on again.

Wait a minute? Weren't you originally trying to disable it because of a game crashing? If so, it appears its turned off already? Now the issue becomes which GPU are you actually using? Still, if you could enable it, you should be able to set a profile for that game and force it to use which ever GPU you want. I haven't found anything helpful on turning it on or off. Everything I see says you do that in the CCC in the section I posted the screen shot for earlier.

Should be in the Performance section of CCC I believe to turn on crossfire.

 

[avidqtaqtx]

yeah actually i want it to use dedicated one not integrated
it's disable that means only one of them is working ok ???
and have a look at it
only integrated GPU is working

also i visited hp site and found out that they provide "fixed " and "dynamic" mode notebooks and mine one is dynamics and may be i can switch it back to static
lets hope it works

A side note, that temp looks very bad especially compared to GPU load.

 

[avidqtaqtx]

[avidqtaqtx]

With laptops it is usually one of two things, clogged/broken fan or poor heat-sink bonding as in dried up thermal paste or improper application of it. Sometimes both problems if the paste has gotten excessively hot due to the fan not working correctly.
