I have a 4 year old HP Pavillion laptop with intel 3000 hd graphics and AMD 7470m with 1GB GDDR5 VRAM running windows 10 64 bit.
The problem started when about a week ago, I downloaded the latest drivers for the GPU, I downloaded the beta ones what happened next that the laptop started to freeze, after a bit of tinkering it started to work again. Then next day I switched the laptop on and then right after the startup the login screen flashed and then there was the Black Screen.
I had understood this was because of the graphics drivers. I then went to safe mode opened device manager and than noticed something rather odd, in the monitors tab it was showing GENERIC PNP MONITOR with a yellow triangle. I uninstalled the 7470m drivers from device manager and the laptop re-booted fine.
I tried than to download the 15.7.1 drivers because they weren't in BETA. Mid installation the screen started to flicker, which was normal but after that the screen went completely black, I waited a minute, 5, 10, 30 and the screen was black, I re-booted and again after the startup the login screen flashed and than Black screen. Went to safe mode, I uninstalled them again, and the obviously there was the generic pnp monitor error.
Re-booted the computer and went to device manager, the laptop re-installed the AMD driver with no issues however an older version, I didn't want to install any new driver now. But the thing is the laptop was not using the AMD Driver, I went to battery settings and selected high performance, little did I know, I re-booted, same black screen, went to safe mode and so on. I've tried countless ways to fix this but I couldn't. I wanted to play games at a better framerate but I can't. I need a way to fix this. My OS is Windows 10 64 Bit,
