Alienware 17 GPU problem
help needed :( My alienware 17 cant detect my gpu :( i have uninstalled and reinstalled many nvidia drivers and still it doesnt fix it :( ive also formatted my notebook but that didnt also fix it. Something's weird because if the driver is freshly installed, my gpu works and it is detected but after an hour, turning on my alienware my nvidia control panel will be missing and saying" You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU". another thing is when 332.21 drivers is installed i get BSODs Bad pool header :( in the device manager(not in 332.21 driver) NVIDIA GTX 770m says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" But all of the drivers is okay if im hibernating my laptop. Shutting down my laptop causes the loss of nvidia control panel and the GPU. Please help me fix this :( Thanks in advance :(

i have had the same problem. i checked what card i actually had and apparently i have AMD Radeon R9 M290X. i am sure i have the Alienware 17 as i've done my research into what the differences are physically and software, between the alienwares. i bought mine at JB-HI Fi in Australia. Alienware website says NVidia Graphics card. don't know why i have different. only guess is its advertising the american website and for some reason Aus has slightly diff machines? (very much doubt this though)
