    I have a problem with my DV 7 6080 which uses Radeon6770/ Intel 3000!

    I bought this laptop second hand and when i start using it all seemed fine.. I played games like nba 2k12 without problems and after playing for an hour the max. temp would reach like 80C so that was good. But when playing gta IV on lower settings the temp was very high so i decided to install some driver updates... Thats where i messed up and not really beeing an expert in this area should have made a back-up since i dont have any CD or partition left....
    Anyways after updating drivers i first had an issue with the blue screen and had to restart the laptop is safe mode. After that i uninstalled the drivers ( i dont remember which i installed ) but then i of course needed some drivers again. So i decided to install all the drivers again using driversweeper and so on....
    After trying many different drivers and Catalysts the problem remains.... THE STRANGE THING THAT HAPPEND IS THAT NOW MY CATALYST WORKS AND I CAN SWITCH GRAPHIC MODES BY RIGHT CLICKING ON MY DESKTOP AS NORMALLY YOU SHOULD DO IN THE 6000 SERIES SO I USE THE AMD GPU RATHER THEN INTEL. SO EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT MY DESKTOP FONTS LOOK SMALLER AND WHEN I ENTER NBA 2K12 IN THE BEGINNING ALL SEEMS OK BUT THEN I SEE SMALL HORIZONTAL LINES IN THE SCREEN, it blinks a bitt, AND ALSO IT BECOMES AROUND 85 c AFTER 5 MINUTES OF PLAYING SO THEN IS STOP PLAYING...

    I tried everything from reinstalling all drivers with sweeper and CC cleaner and so from using the catalyst by leshcat... right now everything is working and the computer indicates that both my radeon 6770 and intel are working but when i watch a youtube clip on 1080 it looks like my radeon is not beeing used and the graphics look rather bad....
    when i check my monitor it indicates 1600x 900 using the radeon so what could be wrong ???

    PLEASE HEEEEEELP ??? ;)

    any other way to get my drivers back to the factory ones without having to buy a cd which can 2 weeks ??

    HP factory reset can be accessed via esc key right when you power up your laptop. After that, select system recovery. This only works if your recovery partition D hasn't been removed.
