    I recently bought a dv6-7000 notebook with A10-4600 and 7670m. I kept getting blue screens with the drivers that came with the laptop then I installed the AMD catalyst 12.7 beta drivers which fixed the BSOD problems. However, when I run a benchmark like Unigine Heaven or 3dmark, I see screen tearing. I tried forcing vsync through the AMD vision control panel which didn't work. Then I turned on vsync in Unigine Heaven program, but I still see screen tearing. Does anyone else have this problem? I hope I didn't spend 800 dollars on a defective notebook...
