I have got a solution for those who are facing issues with GAMING PERFORMANCE and Sleep/Hibernate Problems for "Inspiron 15R 5537" and other models which are using "AMD Radeon HD 8850M"

solution for 1. Sleep/Hibernate problems when upgraded the Catalyst Drivers
2.Blue Screen Error 0x00000113

I did this on my Inspiron 15R 5537 with AMD 8850M on Windows 8.1

1.Update the Bios version to A08 link : http://www.dell.com/support/home/in/en/indhs1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=6D4JN&fileId=3381798009&osCode=WB64A&productCode=inspiron-15r-5537&languageCode=EN&categoryId=BI

2.Uninstall display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller in SAFE MODE
( After performing Step 2 once again check 'Device Manager' and 'Control Panel', If you find any Intel or AMD graphics driver uninstall it manually)

3.Install Intel 4400 Graphic Driver from Dell ver 10.18.10.3308 link : http://www.dell.com/support/home/in/en/indhs1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=Y3FHH&fileId=3321814127&osCode=WB64A&productCode=inspiron-15r-5537&languageCode=EN&categoryId=VI

and restart

4.Install Latest AMD Mobility Catalyst 14.4 from AMD support site link : http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064#amd-catalyst-packages

and restart

5.Open CMD as Admin and type " powercfg -restoredefaultschemes "

6.Download and Open AMDEnduroFix_DX9 and click apply Fix and restart link : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwMfCsXwjEEeeEZKWFVpMzM2b28/edit

7.Enjoy.

no sleep/Hibernate problems and gaming performance is very good.

The name in Device Manger will be AMD R9 M265X but ignore it. Don't worry

PS : If you are using any model laptop other than 5537 (i.e 5737, 3537, etc) then please download the appropriate BIOS A08 UPDATE from Dell Support Site using your SERVICE TAG NUMBER.

Hey! I've been struggling with this issue and now I'm trying to apply your method - I'm NOT a high-tech person and I know NOTHING about computers, I'm just kind of blind following your instructions, hence, I've got 2 questions and I would immensly appreciate it if you could help me out! 1. When I open CMD and type in "powercfg-...etc." stuff there is no reaction from the prompt. Is it supposed to be this way? 2. When I follow the link under nr. 6 (the one where I'm supposed to find AMD Enduro"), I get an error message and I cannot find the file. I also tried googling it, but had no luck...
Again, I would very much appreciate help as I'd like to stop this tedious fight with Dell...

Can someone help in the year 2016 ? I have the same problem with Dell 5537 , and Windows 10 x64 , i got the auto-detect tool of ATI, and installed the "R9 200X" , i see the same on GPU-Z ,on the Radeon Library and stuff.

For this kind of problem , any newer solution ? I cannot update to A08 bios,because i don't have a battery to do it.
