    My laptop (The Asus W90VP) has 2 Radeon HD 4870s, and in the Device Manager, one of them has an exclamation mark next to it. Any ideas what it could be?

    My drivers seem to be up to date at least according to the automatic check and I feel dumb not being able to solve this myself.

    Perhaps you should contact Asus on that, it may well be a hardware error.

    Still, try the manufacturers driver (shipped or on the website, whichever one) first and/or try booting up a linux live cd and look its hardware manager to see if it has an error too.
