7970m Driver problem


decap

Recommended Posts

So normally everything ran good and normal but sometimes when i played star wars the game froze randomly but didnt happen often and didnt happen in other games at all.

Anyhow last time it froze in game i chose to shut it down and at restart i had some blue screen and black screen after windows logo so i did reinstallation of windows on the laptop.

I installed intel onboard gfx drivers first it was fine.

Then when i tried to install the amd drivers it started installation fine then screen flashed twice and stayed on blackscreen.

Now there is this error (check img link)

Is the card broken? Or is there any way to fix this?

nope managed installing drivers after few hours trying different drivers and shit...

So what i did for future refrences(you) :

* First i downloaded the latest gfx drivers from amd official and latest intel from their websites

*Installed intel gfx

*Went into bios; disabled ueif or uief something boot

*Turned off laptop

* Removed power. Battery out and back in. Turn on

*Put fans on full speed with permamods bios so fn+9

*Came back into windows

*Extracted the amd setup into c:amd

*Cancelled the setup that the extraction runs

*Ran setup as admin

It now shows normally under display devices as 7970m and no errors!

Buuuuut i get black screen after windows loads lol :D

The 7970m is a bit prone to failure. What does the device manager say about the intel iGPU? Does it also have a driver error? If so, windows 7 cannot run the dGPU without the iGPU driver, and will display an error for the dGPU. If there is no error listed for the iGPU then it does look like the card is dying.
