    So all of a sudden my laptop wont recognize my card. I tried updating to the newest amd driver still nothing. I also tried updating my bios to the new a12 bios still says not detected. I removed the battery and the cmos battery an still no luck. The only thing I haven't tried is reseating the graphics card. I'm not sure if I do that if I'm going to have to repaste. Can anybody help me out? Oh ani didn't buy any plans for my laptop will feel still fix it under factory warranty?
