should i install the latest amd graphic driver 12.3? very frustrated with 11.8 recently, always get the "not responding and has recovered" message, have to restart pc, so graphic will go back to normal.

hi all,

i just updated my graphic driver to enduro 12.11 by leshcatlabs, i cant adjust my brightness using the f2/f3 key on my keyboard, any idea?

my laptop is DV6-6001TX, thx

edit: found the solution, change the graphic card from ATI to Intel adjust the brightness then back to ATI, the F2/F3 brightness function works again...haha

Hello everyone, need your expertise on this issue

recently i dled and installed ati driver 13.6 beta 2 from leshcatlabs.net, then the brightness can't be adjusted (same as previous),

last time after i switch to intel card, change the brightness, then change back to ati, everything works fine, and brightness can be controlled even using ati at that time

now, after i installed 13.6 beta 2, the method before can't be used anymore, and i have to switch card to adjust the brightness everytime i start up my pc. Then i used the brightness resolver, i changed to value like F840, F900, F940, all these just brought up BSOD, then i have to boot into safe mode to set it back to FFFF just to enter back my main window (even after i reinstalled the driver, the screen flickers whenever enter the main window, sigh).

Can anyone helps me on the brightness and flickering issue? thank you.

my previous driver was 12.11 from leshcatlab, never bother with update till the "recover from not responding" issue became very frequent.
any suggestion?

btw, if i want to revert back to previous older version of driver, what are the procedures to do a clean re-install?

so meaning that leshcat's catalyst 13.1 works fine for the brightness and everything else?
mind to guide me on how to do a rollback and reinstall for my ati driver? thank you!

noted, thanks!

ok, downgraded the driver to 13.1, still can't solve brightness issue.
at least this time, after i did a switching from ati -> intel (play with the brightness) -> ati, the problem fixes itself, now i can control the brightness even in ati gpu. not perfect, but this will do for now. thx!

looks like that brightness resolver alre did a toll on my brightness setting. After 13.1 made my pc totally frozen during watching a movie on it. i reverted back to 12.11 (which i used before all these problems happened), the brightness adjustment only work everytime after i did the switching between intel and ati graphic card, this method no longer can fix my problem permanently...sigh, should not have use that brightness resolver in the first place....

i think it is the brightness resolver which changed my registry value in the first place which made the things go haywire, so, no matter which version of catalyst i use (13.1 or 12.11), it doesn't solve the fact that the registry value alre changed. i tried system restore multiple time, it didnt fix the issue.

well, for now, i just stick to 12.11 at least last time it didn't totally froze my pc and i had to force shutdown like what 13.1 did.

need some clarification, drivefusion will delete or reset the value, bro? coz i think the brightness resolver change the value instead of creating a new one, correct me if i'm wrong

i dont think it will make any difference. But then for my case, i need to do a system recovery already...after i manage my backup...the brightness resolver really did a toll on my pc.

hi all, it seems that my dv6 which i bought in 2011 is dying...
the fan dying warning pop up...

may i know where i can service this?
Do i need to delete all important doc before sending it in?

meaning? i do not need to fix it?

i don't dare to crack open my laptop
