Brand new laptop blue screening in games.

[volzear418]

1 week ago I bought an Acer Aspire 7750G-6645, it has an AMD HD 7670M, Core i5-2450m, and a 17.3" display. It has switchable graphics which makes it impossible to update the drivers from the AMD site, but I have downloaded and uninstalled/re installed the drivers via the Acer site.

Nothing helps it. I know that the card isn't overheating, I have never seen it get over 55C. My FPS in games are good (30-60 at all times) but I still get random blue screens. I know that the problem is the AMD driver, and I have the most up to date version. I just don't know what to do. I'm about to call Acer support and see what they say, but I wanted to get input from you guys first.

Dude you're awesome, I tried unplugging the CMOS battery only and waited few mins and nothing happened so I came here and read this forum and came across your post and the final magic step I was missing was to unplug the Laptop battery and drain the power as you said and it Worked!!!

Big kudos to you! I was on the phone with Acer support and they couldn't solve it either so they inmediately asked me to send it for repair service etc blah blah. And I said no, there is got to be another way. And here I am.

Thank You so much

your welcome 😀 glad I could help
