Just a bit of a tip--it's a bit late at this point... but don't overclock on a laptop. Unless you're freezing the thing in constant LN2, it's going to overheat. When I'm playing games on my laptop (albeit, a workstation laptop) my K2100m heats up to a nice 85C, and my CPU heats up to a nice boiling 100C. With my cooling pad underneath, my GPU runs around 70-75, my CPU runs around 85. There's also the fact that it's a Lenovo... But point stands. You have a very high chance to cook something in a laptop.

So, you should be able to use your GPU, drivers or not. Drivers are always a bonus, but if you put a GPU in a brand new machine without an iGPU, you still get an image. No drivers necessary. If you can attempt to run an application off of your AMD card and all you get is black, that's a problem. Have you tried turning your graphics option to your discrete card instead of iGPU?

Well, even without drivers, your card should still work. You can't change specifics on it that would be in Radeon Settings, but you should still be able to use it... Otherwise, putting the card in a machine that doesn't have Intel graphics would mean you could never get an image out of it, yeah? Would be pointless for the people who are manufacturing it

If you got massive artifacts on your screen, barely an image, and then the screen just blacked out...the card might be fried. The only other thing I could think to try would be to go into your bios, and find your display settings to check if it's running on your Intel graphics or the amd card.

well my bios is insyde h20 something its useless. it doesn't have anything like that... also my manufacturer had done something with drivers that intel and amd can't exist or used alone.. something i don't know much on that..

okay, listen..
i tell you the whole story.... ___ hope you help ;-)
so, first my friend used msi afterburner.. no problems at that time.. we even played games.. and then suddenly one day i opened devil may cry 5 and then BSOD atikmpag.sys problem and then boot loop .. and then i tried recovery but nothing happend so i tried clean install and yes, i have two disk partition but only one hdd.. And till, then whenever i install the display driver provided by sony it does install but the screen goes black many times and then wierd screen (barely a image) and then BSOD and then boot loop till i go into safe mode and disable the display driver...
i even tried individual intel graphics driver (can't install sony problem) and amd (but still BSOD's)...
