Hi, anyone please help my with my laptop display problem?
but first, here is my hardware specs:
Laptop model: Pavilon G4 1214tx
CPU Brand Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz
Motherboard Model: Hewlett-Packard 166E
graphic: (switchable)
Intel HD 3000 (Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0116&SUBSYS_166E103C&REV_09)
and
AMD HD 6470m (hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6760&SUBSYS_166E103C&REV_00)
So, few days ago i detected that the switchable graphic option (the one that usually appear when i right clikcing in desktop) didn't work and shows an error everytime i try to open it (i forgot what error it says) and i think: "nah, piece of cake, i'll just update the driver and everything will be back to normal". (never i been so wrong)
I then download the driver for my laptop from Here. both AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver and Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver.
But, errors then happened:
1. When i install the Intel driver, this error message appears: "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver drom the computer manufacturer. Setup will exit." the installation proccess then stopped
2. When i Install the AMD, this error message appears: "Application Install:install package error" the installation keeps on running and finished anyway. but then option for switching graphics is completely missing and catalyst control center is empty.. plus, there is exclamation mark in windows device manager
after pulling out my hair out of frustation for few days, i then download AMD autodetect utility from here
Using the AMD autodetect i installed a new driver as it suggests.
It seems like working fine, till i realized device manager shows that my devices is AMD Radeon 7000 series instead of AMD Radeon HD 6470m. AND some games didn't runs well (life is strange and MW3)
The games is running without any error message whatsoever, but the game screen goes completely blank (yep, blank, not blinking, darkened or whatever, just blank), even though the game sound and music could be heard and even when i randomly clicking my mouse, the option sound could be heard. It is not freeze tho, bc i still could use Alt-tab to minimize the game and go to desktop (everything is normal while the game is minimized).
I suspect that i should install the driver from HP instead of AMD, but with that "package error" problems, seems like it is not a solution either.
Does anyone knows any solution for this problem? Any help would be appreciated
thanks
