Ok this all started with a simple update. I usually use ATI-hotfixes for my driver updates since hp hardly release compatible driver updates to switchable graphics enabled laptops. But this time surprisingly my catalyst controller itself asked me whether I would like to install the new catalyst controller 12.10 or something. I thought what the hell, if it is the new driver and if my catalyst controller is suggesting it I should not worry. So I went straight ahead and updated the driver. Everything has gone smoothly, until I switch on the laptop next day.
I switched on the laptop and I couldn't click on any of my task bar buttons and my laptop charger is also not detected. And there were random flickering in my display. I got worried and then I restored windows. The restore also crashed for I don’t know what reason. It gave me lots of software issues but the hardware was ok. So I spent around 3~4 hours and repaired the software.But now the messed up part is that sometimes my display driver (Ati 5650) does not get detected in the device manager. But sometimes it does.
So currently I am only using the Intel drivers and using the Intel hd driver in the laptop, but the laptop is expensive only because of its video driver and without it it’s not worth the amount. So these days I’m trying to fix that error.
Today I removed Catalyst Controller and the ATI drivers from
my laptop. Now hoping to download them directly from the hp website and see how
it goes. HP-pavilion dv6 is a good laptop but with switchable graphics it
sucks. :D
Thank you.
