Prema I really appreciate your direct reply here. Unfortunately it did not work. To walk through the steps I did do, I had KB2670838 installed, so I removed it. I also turned off autodownload on Windows Update to prevent its potential reinstallation. I then did a clean install of the drivers through safe mode after having used Driver Fusion and Rapr to remove all instances of Intel and AMD display drivers. I have also used Registry Recylcer to clear through any orphaned registry entries created by the installing and uninstalling I have been doing. I downloaded and installed the 13.1 CCC for radeon mobility after uninstalling all AMD software on the machine. I ran into difficulty with the CCC process not recognizing my Intel HD4000 and installing AMD's driver. After repeated attempts to figure out how to install it, I let Windows update do the latest version. I was unable to avoid getting Code 43 errors on both the AMD 7970M, and the Intel HD4000 by doing this. Neither of these "activate" after the installation of the drivers. I get best results by letting windows use standard VGA drivers. At the very least my machine can go into hibernate mode when I don't have them installed. Do you have any more ideas for me to try? I would really like to avoid reformatting again as I have some specialized software on my machine which doesn't allow me many activations.

I own a Np9150, which has lasted me a few years. I am experiencing issues with it now that is making me consider looking at a replacement. Not sure if I will want to stick with the brand if I do replace though.

My Np9150 got so hot, it literally broke the plastic casing on the side. I had to send it in for repair, and they also put more thermal grease on the card, and it has been a little better since. I wonder if this was caused by a poor installation? I was a very early adopter, and was one of the first people to get a 9790m, so I am thinking that may have been the case.

How did you solve it? I am experiencing a similar issue.

Have you tried looking and making sure all the cables are connected and the card is fully seated in your laptop (with no bent pins or things to get in the way of the contact points)?

So I am experiencing a problem with my NP9150 which I have had for a few years now. I recently reformatted my machine after 2 years of having it, re installed the drivers and things were working well. I left my computer on one night, and it blue screened, the culprit being the amdkmpfd.sys file. I have an 7970m, and since that blue screen both that device and the Intel HD4000 has been reporting Error 43. Now I did a lot of playing around with uninstalling, reinstalling drivers and finally got it to work again, at least for a few days. I was working in Adobe Photoshop, blue screened again. Same deal mess with drivers, eventually get it to work again. To be honest I am not sure what the right combination of uninstalling/re installing fixes it. Right now I am trying to fix it for a third time, and having difficulty. So I am posting here seeing if a bios update might help since I have been running the earliest stock version. Anyone have any ideas

Where do you get your stock drivers from? The ones on Sagers website seem out of date.
