Solved! Flashing screen after uninstalling graphics driver

[optimus0914]

So. About a year or 2 ago, I deleted my graphics driver, trusting people, that my laptop would download it again automatically.

After that, restart, and my screen went flashing. I think, black screen for 1 second, then for a moment it turned on and went right back. And this basically repeating forever.

As I couldn't do anything at all, I contacted a friend, who was luckily able to put the driver back for free.

My real question is, that will it happen again? And what caused it, if literally everyone said that it will be alright? ]

As long as you don't delete it again, it shouldn't happen again.

As long as you don't delete it again, it shouldn't happen again.

But I'm planning to. Windows 10 keeps disabling my dedicated GPU (Radeon R7 M260DX) and I saw in a post, that deleting the driver will fix it. I tried disabling the internal, but then it uses something called "Microsoft Basic Render Driver" with a refresh rate of 64Hz. I also tried re-enabling my dedicated graphics card and even though it says it's enabled, win10 still uses this 'render driver'. I also saw in a post, that I should check the BIOS and make sure it's set to use my main GPU, but I don't have anything like that at all. I can only set a few things, like boot priority, boot mode, etc... and check my laptop's stats. I noticed that the graphics card is never mentioned anywhere. Not in BIOS, neither Windows. I want to mention, that if I check if there are new drivers available through windows, there's always one. I'll check on ADM's website if there's really a new driver.

You should be able to get the driver back (free), if it is the correct driver for your system, by going to the manufacturer's website. http/www.tomsguide.com/forum/id-2108825/drivers-start.html
