Device manager "Changed" my video card
I got this laptop several years ago from costco. The Dell Inspiron N5010
It listed a nice video card. When it was delivered I think they said they were out of that vidcard but gave me another equivalent. I forget the details now tho.
For the longest time, the video card driver was listed as "ATI Radeon HD 4650"
Just recently I had some BSOD issues of the Display timeout type. One of the things I tried to fix the issue was to check for device driver. But windows said that everything was fine and updated.
One of the last things I tried with it was to disable the video card device driver (Radeon 4650)
Then Try looking for updates again.
When I did this, the system CHAGED DRIVERS on me. It changed to Radeon 550v. This sounded VERY familiar! Like I think this was the original card that was supposed to be there. Or else it was the one they switched to. THe details are cloudy but I remember this name.
So which card do I have? DO I trust what WIndows just did?
