Solution to hd7970m in p150em cannot install driver.

Hello, first of all let me share with u all, my problems first.

1. Last week windows 10 got popup an update to my system, this is including the amd driver. So I have decided to run the update,here is my mistake because before this I didnt have any problem with the driver update. When the windows tried to install the update, it crash halfway. I thought my driver become corrupted as I cannot boot into the windows.

2. So I install a new fresh windows 8 and try to install the gpu driver. After countless of fail installation, some of them crash when install, some of them crash when restart, finally I found amd driver that can be install that is version 15.7.1. However the catalyst control center cannot detect my display and no power,video,gaming and etc option shown.

3. This morning I have decided to bake the card, cross my finger and bake it for 200c for 9 minutes. Before installing the gpu I uninstall all the amd driver, and network driver but I didnt uninstall my intel driver and use the 9.17.10.2875 version.

4. Then I start my laptop as usual, install amd driver version 15.200.1062.1004 and then miraculously the amd ccc show all the option, detected my gpu.

Tldr version : baked my gpu and install driver version 15.200.1062.1004. and it works.
Do it at your own risk, I just share my exp so anything happen to your laptop is not under my responsibility. Comment if these method works to u too.

 

I'd like to point out that often times baking a GPU is only a temporary fix and you should probably think about getting a new GPU.

 

Yeah I know that. Next time I wont ever buy amd product. Their update are literally ****, sorry red fans. Green are better I guess

 

Yeah, literally all of the 7970M's are beginning to drop like flies from back in June 2012. Not to mention a majority of the drivers drove me up a wall with the Enduro issues early on. Granted, it's been 3.5 years but I imagined it would last longer than that with proper care... ah, oh well. I still stuck with team red though when I bought the 390 for my desktop though, things are... simpler on a desktop I suppose when form factor and battery life aren't an issue?

 

I think its more to driver issue in amd. Coz my gpu works flawlessly before I let windows 10 update the driver. Im pretty sure that the driver brick my gpu. Before this I always go green, lol didnt know that this card only can last 3 years only. That is below average life span of normal card.

 

I didn't even think that maybe Windows 10 could be bricking GPUs like it tends to brick LCDs... Interesting.
