SilentExodus Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have found my failure, the 7970m is dead . My old 6990m is working fine. Try to get a Nvidia 680m now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger007 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yes old post, but in case others come searching to a resolution, did you try a third party driver called DDU? It will wipe both the Intel and AMD and give you a fresh system to install the drivers. Now I only know of two paths to install but I am sure people here have many more. Install the dell based drivers and then install intel from their website and then the current AMD, or a 3rd party (since don't know what the rules regarding naming 3rd party websites, I can say just it involves "cat" in the name, pm if it is allowed, I can show you where to go, but be aware that I don't think they are keeping the drivers up to date anymore as they ended with 15.11 beta). If I get my system working again, I am going the first route as I think the 3rd party drivers caused my eventually failure of the OS (I am dreading the reinstall).
