    Hey everyone,

    I bought a L40D-B204X last july and i've been disappointed with this unit so far.

    I5-4200u and AMD R7 mobile (or is 6900M? At least this is how gpu-z is identifying it - along with AMD Control Center) and it's crashing to blue screen.

    Gets a message like the driver "recovered" but lately its getting worse, like the entire screen goes black but the mouse cursor is still there.

    What's frustrating is that i cannot find resources to download new drivers from, and i think Toshiba has proprietary drivers for their builds. So even if i check out AMD's website what they have there would not work for my gpu.

    ...or would it? Can i get some help from the experts please? Thanks in advance.
