Since about the middle of may I've been having an ongoing problem with video card drivers.
Basically every time the laptop starts up, catalyst control centre, along with a bunch of other programs, Steam, VLC , windows media player... etc... have stopped working, windows cannot find the problem and i have even sent the laptop away for repair , in which I was told on the docket that the laptop has had its motherboard replaced.
I have tried a lot of solutions, ranging from uninstalling the graphics card drivers constantly and reinstalling them(using driver fusion to wipe them completely both intel and amd radeon drivers), updating steam, turning compatabillity mode on (which seems to be a quick fix for some programs) formatting the hard drive and even running windows 8 and 7.
Something is obviously seriously wrong with this laptop and I am at my wits end here and this laptop just cant preform as intended.
Note : with graphics card drivers removed, programs such as steam, and vlc, and wmp seem to go back to working normally.
also have used both the dell recommended graphics drivers and the beta drivers from amd, both do not work.
Please help any other info can be provided if necessary , this 15r se is the version with the i5 processor
