People please help me! I've searched through this site and I couldn't fine solution for my problem.
I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv7-4050em
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU: AMD Phenom II P920 Caspian 45nm Technology
RAM: 4,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 147B (Socket S1G4)
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series (HP)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (HP)
CrossFire Disabled (not possible)
And of course I have a problem with my graphic card drivers. My laptop crushes every now and then. When I play games, watching movies, or just working it keeps crashing. I've tried a lots of drivers and none of them worked. Also, every time when I turn on my laptop I get the message kdbsync.exe stop working.
Please help me, I'm going to throw my laptop of the building 😀
 
Thanks! I've just unistalled "AMD APP SDK Runtime" component and I'll see if it's going to work.

I'll let you know 😉

UPDATE 1: A whole day without turning off 😀 Usually it turned off while I connect it to TV via HDMI (1920x1080) and watch movies in full HD.

UPDATE 2: I think that KODI is causing laptop to crush. I've just put a movie to watch and it crushed. Now I ned to figure out why is this happening because I'm using Kodi for a long time and didn't have any problems until now.

UPDATE 3: Finally! The AMD drivers are definitely causing a problem. Laptop is working but as soon as I plug it to watch a full HD movie it shut down. Just with the 1920x1080 resolution. Now, I need working drivers for my graphic cards. HELP!

If you're having problems... I recommend that you totally start over with your drivers... First get rid of your AMD drivers entirely... do it manually or use a Driver Cleaner... then restart your system... and reinstall AMD all over and skipping over the driver I mentioned before.

If I were in your situation... and continued to have problems... I wouldn't waste any more time trying to troubleshoot because it would just frustrate me more. I would back up any data I needed or wanted to keep... boot up my Windows Disk... go to Advance Options to reinstall... and DELETE my current partition.. because sometimes reinstalling windows on a corrupted partition would carry over the problems with a new reinstall... But... I would just totally delete that partition... create a brand new one... format and install Windows all over again... That is my end all be all... and that would take me only a day to complete... much better than spending a week trying to fix something that probably unfixable..
 
One thing to be aware of... it's possible that if you're running windows update... that specific driver could be reinstalled by Windows... so I would stop/hide all automatic AMD drivers from being installed by Windows Update as a precaution.
