[Abiel Francis]

I just got a new laptop. HP 15 Notebook ay014ne.I downloaded some softwares and then installed them.Then after i installed codeblocksmingw setup(i downloaded it from sourceforge,friend said its good to learn c++ so i did). Then the boot up started to become slow. there were many desktop.ini files. It was annoying so ideleted them from where ever i could find them. In c drive there were a few drives that were faded out which i did not find until the laptop started showing signs it had virus. Then i deleted a few folders not knowing what they are. Right now I dont know what to do,Could someone help me remove the virus.

Hello Colif. I am back with some problems 😛. As i said i have an AMD Radeon R7 M440,yet while i play pes 2017 a warning pops up saying "your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run this software.As a result you may experience errors during operation.Your video card does not meet the required specifications(GPU:VRAM 512MB)"
How do i know if the integratedintel graphic card is running or the amd radeon r7 m440? Also how do i interchange it? Also while playing fifa 14,fifa 13 and pes 2017 the screeen flickers at times and while i was playing fifa 14 the screen went black and was lit up. Could you help me out?

I would make a new thread and perhaps link to this, only as others might be able to help? show the new link here and I will have a look

the amd card should run in games, it is a rendering device only.

 

[Abiel Francis]

In what section should i make the new thread and i didnt understand the last sentence.

 

[Colif]

I would post in laptops since that is what you have

the sentence means that since you have a Laptop, the Intel IGPU will run everything except for games, the AMD card should only run in games. This probably explains why furmark didn't pick it up before. I showed you this to check if you had switchable graphics - https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02731962

Colif i created another thread as you said.
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3434318/screen-flickering-playing-games.html. Also i dont have the option of interchanging when i right click on desktop but i have two options intel graphics setting and amd graphic settings and i go to device manager there are two display adapters one is the amd and the other is intel, so do i need to install something to get the option or is my laptop choosing amd on its own. also if its choosing amd on its own then why is it saying gpu 512 mb?

The 2 in device manager and fact both sets of drivers work means hardware is fine,
right click start button
choose run...
type dxdiag and press enter
this opens a new window
click on the Save all Information button
this lets you save the info as a text file, it will open up a box for you to name it and save it on PC where you can find it again
upload that file to same site as others and share link in that thread. I will keep an eye on it...

If you look through DXDiag, the display tab should show Intel GPU on the display tab, the rest of the tabs are mostly sound and input devices


I expect you will find the AMD card is marked for rendering only in the text file, and should only run in games. Its drivers may be reason for the flickering
