Solved BSOD (error 116) after reinstalling windows 7 drivers

[Laith]

Go to normal mode and start it.

 

[Katsy]

nope. still the same error message

Can you install the display drivers again? If that dosen't work then this is a sign of the GPU failing.

 

[Katsy]

Should I reinstall the Intel HD graphics card as well?

 

[Laith]

It's your decision which graphics card you want to run in.

 

[Katsy]

It's a dual graphics laptop though. The Intel HD was fine but I could not run certain programs with just it

 

[Laith]

You don't need to, if you don't use it.

 

[Katsy]

Ahah a but I do use the AMD radeon as well. It used to work fine before I reinstalled windows 7.

 

[Laith]

Heh, i say install both of them so it can prevent BSOD problems in the future.

 

[Katsy]

Well i tried reinstalling both graphics cards again, but still gave me the blue screen. Is there a way to set programs to just use my Intel graphics card and ignore the AMD card?

 

[Laith]

Well yea, you can just right-click and click display settings and fiddle a little there.

 

[Katsy]

Okay thanks for the help. I'll see if I can install it again and fiddle around some more with the settings. I would like to believe in your bottom banner but I think it's kinda impossible to repair this at the moment. Thanks for the advice again

 

[Laith]

No problem! It's never impossible, even if this is tough it's still not impossible.

I just wanted to update with what I did after the last post. I've still been trying to fix my graphics card and I realized that when i reinstalled my computer drivers, they were for windows 64bit and not 32 bit. So i reinstalled windows again and the drivers for the 32 bit program. I also tried to run furmark like you said earlier and found that it could run for a little while but would have artifacts after a few minutes. Another thing I noticed is that furmark did not detect my AMD graphics card. Is it because my driver is not installed or my graphics card is unable to run anymore. Thank you for any help on this matter.

 

[Laith]

That means that it's a failing GPU, you should probably have to replace it. If you have the driver un-installed then it's that but yea as said you should replace it.

No problem! It's my duty to help!

 

[Katsy]

okay got it! thanks. i'm actually deciding to go with a new pc if i have to replace it.

 

[Laith]

Well you do have to so happy buying! Hope you get a good computer!
