    So after searching for a bit I can't seem to find anything similar to the problem I have.

    So I'm still running stock, 209 bios. But what happens is that IF I install a gpu driver (tried, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 and now most recently 10.12 mobility drivers from ATI, used Driver Sweeper each time to get rid of most traces of old driver after uninstalling through control panel) but what happens every time is that if the drivers and CCC are installed, and I start up a game. The GPU seems to crash out just lots of blocks of random color and such all over the screen which results in me having to restart the computer. BUT if I then uninstall the drivers altogether and run games, no crashes and everything works fine. So normally this would be fine but since I got this computer (end of august 2010) the fans have started to increase in noise, and that is mostly the right fan, which seems to pumping out about 4°c hotter air then the other one (not sure if that is supposed to happen, (monitored useing CPUID hardware monitor)).

    I was thinking of doing a clean install of Windows on my computer and reinstalling all drivers and flashing the bios to the 211 ones. But felt like I should ask around if any1 knew what was going on first.

    to sum up:
    While GPU drivers installed: The graphics goes nuts.
    while GPU drives NOT installed: everything is fine.
    Fans getting noisier as time passes.

    Thanks in advance.
