M17xR4 - HD 7970M Dead ?

[Øshikai]

Hi everybody,

 

I come to you for a real problem i get since 2 days :

 

A month ago, i had recovery the bios with the E-sata method and A05 bios. No problem, i just reinstall W7 and all is all right. But 2 days ago, Amd ask me to Update GPU driver, and i do it.

 

Since, every time i try to launch anything or install AMD driver, the M17 carsh in black screen and i was forced to shut down.

 

I supposed after a complete day to try some answers that my HD7970 was dead, because Under the integrated GPU, the computer works absolutely fine.

 

Thanks in advance for Help,

I think your laptop can only detect the Igpu from the intel cpu. Either try using the FN+F7 method to switch to dedicated gpu (7970m) only or use the unlocked bios to set video mode to "PEG"

My Laptop is on the 7970 (only 7970 seeable on the Windows peripheric manager, no IGP), but when i try an OCCT test on the GPU, he crashed after 3 or 4 sec after the beginning of the test

 

I wait for a friend to test another GPU on my laptop to confirm the dead of my GPU.
