After 5 years my AMD GPU went on my HP Envy 17 model LW900AV. Since this model has switchable graphics (2 GPUs) I uninstalled the AMD drivers and now use the unit with only the Intel HD Graphics gpu. Which was used only for lightweight graphics, not great for video or gaming. Not a great picture and some thing don't work that I didn't expect not to work, like sleep mode, that has disappeared, can't figure that one out. But anyway, I can still use the unit, so I'm grateful for that. Most other laptops wouldn't have that option.
I'm thinking about replacing the motherboard (I really like this unit so I don't want to go new, and I love win7 and hate 10) and there's not a lot of information out there on buying the right replacement motherboard for your laptop. I've seen a variety of prices, but most of the listings I see don't have many details on their motherboards, like GPU's, chipset, etc. I'm not looking to upgrade, just replace with what I had before. Any help and or other tips that might help me would be much appreciated!
