I can only really praise this laptop. It's so much better than the gateway I got 2 years ago.

Despite it being new, that gateway couldn't run L4D2 well at all. But now, this HP has yet to disappoint me. I really look forward to playing AC: Revelations & Mass Effect 3 on this baby

Hey I'm wondering, I cannot update my AMD card to version 11.11 but instead I'm still stuck at 11.10.

Any help with this problem?

I get that sometime. It's rare now, but I get it too when I reboot my laptop from sleep. And reboot it a lot since I travel from class to class. Anyone could help us?

Does anyone have issue playing BF3 with the DV6?

My issue is that it crashes to desktop the moment I "try" to play. Not only that, I'm one of the many that has issues with PB.

So yes, I have reinstall both origin and BF but still nothing works. I'm hoping someone here can help me?

Also, it seems AMD drivers are the issue but I want to check in with the people here. Currently I'm on v. 11.11

I wasted 60 bucks buying this game sadly.

EDIT: I recently screwed up my graphic cards. I manage to get most of it fixed, but now I cannot enter into the catalsyt control center and this was after I update to version 11.11c.

Any help on that?

i previous too do have the same problem as you, cannot enter CCC.
maybe you didn't cleanly uninstall the thing.
what i did is as below

- un-install thru CCleaner
- run the installer to un-install the components
- boot to safe mode, use DriverSweeper to clean leafover components in the system
- re-install HP graphic package
- re-install new AMD graphic package

it works for me thru the steps above....

Dude, the Driver Sweeper is what got me into this mess.

f*** no, i'm not going back to it

Great now I can't even find my AMD or CCC installed at all. It's not detected.

Can anyone give me a step by step way? And for goodness sake, this is a laptop we are talking about, so I need detailed instructions to get this shit sorted out.

It shows both my display drivers are there.

I seem to be able to run my games fine. But I don't know if there's some hidden issue which I won't know off until I do sth.

My only issue is that my CCC is no longer showing up in CCleaner nor my installed programs and I can't use CCC at all

Already installed MSI Afterburner?

Open MSIAfterburner.cfg in C:\Programs Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\ with Notepad.

Find this block
CODE
[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA =
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 0
AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0
UnifiedMemoryUsageMonitoring = 1

and change it to
CODE
[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1
AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0
UnifiedMemoryUsageMonitoring = 1

Did you installed any leaked driver v8.930 before? Regarding CCC.. try go into ..\Packages\Apps\CCC2\Core-Static\, right click ccc-core-static.msi and select Repair or select Install if got error pop out saying u don't have it install in your system.
*
Okay I try to do what you suggested and I get error and I click OK to terminate the program but the install still went on. And it restarted my laptop.

The only things I reinstalled were the updates from AMD & from the HP download site. I also update the BIOS thing. Basically, I did this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...cname=c02948560

I think I may need to redo this thing la. Looking at it, my CCC still not working and I did reinstall to both v.8.882 & v.8.830

It could be that it wasnt properly installed.

The driver sweeper basically clean out my graphic card correct? and I did that and I get like just a laptop that was reformatted.

Then after that, I have to reinstall everything but I may have skipped a step or something. >.>

Yes, it will remove all files created by AMD driver. You did tick AMD - Display only right when u use it? Not all.

Yes only AMD. Any suggestions?

Actually i don't understand what u mean by this "I get like just a laptop that was reformatted" sweat.gif

Okay, when you reformat your laptop, the display drivers are basically "not there" and you would need to install the software in order to have it at its optimize state.

So I basically got that and had to work around that. Anyway I tried to update the v11.11c but it gets stuck halfway. So I dont know what version am I even on at the moment

^ isn't that the point of using driver sweeper. to make the system fresh from any graphic driver so you can install it back without having any remnants from the last set of drivers.. install display driver from HP and you're good to go.

you can check what driver you're on right now from device manager/dxdiag/cpu-z/gpucapsviewer.

Sigh, can you give me a detailed instruction on how to do it? I got a bad set and now I'm in this situation.
