gpu not working....

hi all,

initially whenever i launched some new application the amd software used to give a pop-up asking me to configure the settings for that exe. also on desktop -> RMB -> configure switchable graphics allowed me to change some settings. also after launching catalyst control centre i was able to change many settings like performance for gaming, etc.

but suddenly a few days ago these options were not available. in catalyst control centre i have only 2 options:

1. detect display

2. system information

no other settings were available. i think the gpu has stopped working.

because when i installed a new game & launched it there was no pop-up asking me to change settings for that exe. i didnt change any settings for this.

i dont know what has happend.... please help me.

    Hi,

    You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the video driver for your computer.

    Uninstall and re install the drivers:

    • Click on “Start” and right click on “Computer”.
    • Click on “Manage”.
    • Click on “Device Manager”.
    • Under “Display adapters”, you will find the video driver listed.
    • Right click on it and click on “uninstall”. (Check the driver installed on your system, note down the same and re-install the video driver from the below steps accordingly).
    • Check the box to delete the software.
    • Restart your system.

    Once the system restarts, click on the below link:

    • Enter the Service Tag of your system or select system model.
    • Select the Operating System and select video driver under “Video”.
    • Click on the video driver depending on the video card your system has. (Install the same video driver which you uninstalled from “Device Manager”.
    • Click on “Download File”.
    • Select “For Single File Download via Browser”.
    • Click on “Download Now”.
    • Save the driver on your desktop.
    • Once the driver is saved on desktop, right click on it and select “Run as administrator”.
    • Install the video driver by following the on screen instructions.
    • Check if the issue is resolved or not.

    If the issue still persists, you need to update the system BIOS:

    Note: Make sure the ac adapter is connected and the battery is charged 10% or above to update the BIOS. Also, disconnect all the external peripherals (printers, scanners or any USB device)before updating the BIOS.

    Click on the below link:

    • Enter the Service Tag of your system and select the operating system.
    • Go to “BIOS” and click on the BIOS available.
    • Click on “Download File”.
    • Select “For Single File Download via Browser”.
    • Click on “Download Now”.
    • Save the BIOS on your desktop.
    • Once the BIOS is downloaded on the desktop, right click on it and select “Run as administrator”.
    • Follow the prompts on screen to update the BIOS.

     Please reply in case you have any questions.
