    I just got a new dv6tqe
    quad SB [email protected]
    AMD 6770.
    I've been having problems. First, the integrated graphics cannot play ANYTHING. There are youtube videos of intel hd 3000 graphics in games, and they play COD, and other stuff fairly okay on low graphics. I can't even play Quake. (yes, quake, or a game based off of it) that my 2001 computer can easily get 90 fps at. Minecraft gives a driver error about openGL when I try to load it. On top of that, I have gotten two blue screens in the 5 hours of use. Just... boom. Crash.
    What do your integrated graphics usually play, and what should I do, for the graphics AND the crashing? I will give more info if people ask.

    As far as I know you shouldn't be using the integrated graphics at all because amd hasnt come up with a switching solution yet....

    if your intel graphics are enabled you might wan't to disable them due to conflicts. I don't think that the pc would even boot if both were disabled.

    Most likely you have a driver error but if you could check out device manager that might clarify things a little.

    My intel HD3000 can play dragon age 2 on low-medium settings while getting 30 fps.

    So,your problem might be the drivers and not the "card" itself.
