    hi guys. just recently the graphic switching application stopped responding and CCC will not open. I tried uninstalling the driver using ATI uninstall utility but still nothing. Im using the compal driver from the dell website.

    Any ideas? is this a dead graphic card or something else?

    if nothing comes up i will do a system restore. If it still fails to work then i guess its a bad graphics card.

    Try to reinstall the Display Graphic driver instead. Which version that you used right now ?

    i did that.

    anyway i just restored the system and its back to normal.

    but i have a feeling the bluescreen caused by using powerplay might come back. btu if turn off powerplay the gpu is stuck at 100MHZ.

    was there ever a fix for the bluescreen caused by powerplay?
