Hi Guys,
I am using HP G6-2005AX, with AMD A8 apu.
from some days my display driver was crashing frequently and sometimes even hard disk used to crash. Today, when it crashed, display went off!
I uninstalled the display drivers from device manager. (the mistake i did)
After that i have tried reinstalling the latest driver many times from amd website. even reinstalled windows (windows 7 64 bit).
I am installing correct version of the drivers for my gpu but still its not getting installed.
yellow sign is still there as it can be seen in the screenshot.

Please help guys, i am even unable to play videos properly.

Troubleshoot it with windows update

after i formatted and reinstalled windows. windows update has never been run. trying since yesterday, it keeps checking for updates but never returns with results, i left it for an hr also, it kept checking for updates only and via troubleshooting its searching to install drivers via windows update only.

Apply this fix and post the screenshots thereafter.

its searching for the drivers from windows update since very long time (windows update on other hands is taking forever to search for the updates).
after some time it is showing this

Please see this

I thought it must be showing some error report, instead its taking you to properties page.
Fine, just uninstall HD 7640G drivers. Restart your PC. Make sure its completely removed, else use a tool like IOBit uninstaller to remove the drivers completely.

Radeon 7600 series: AMD HD7600 Drivers
Download both the versions listed. Try one, if it doesn't work, then uninstall completely using IOBit Unisntaller. Then restart your PC and install the other.
Hope this would solve your issue!

In normal, but remove the drivers completely using IOBit uninstaller.
Click on the IOBit uninstaller link, your download should start automatically.

[STRIKE]Hibernate option enables when you install the chipset driver, that is what i noticed in my system long back. check that too once again.[/STRIKE]

Remove every AMD application.
And you won't get sleep or hibernate option unless you have your graphics drivers installed.

After removing the AMD applications, install the Graphics Drivers from the link provided above.

this also did not worked, could there be a hardware problem?

Seems to be some other issue! Get it checked at service center once.

after too many attempts, I tried using recovery disc to reinstall everything but recovery installation also gave error about graphics driver...laptop repair guys are saying its motherboard problem and I need to change it. Is that possible ? and moreover, now my HDD is blank...and I tried using my friend's hdd form laptop of exact same model. it is also not working now. its stuck on 'press esc to enter the boot menu'.
I can go into bios settings and set boot order and everything but I am not able to boot into the windows, the same HDD is working fine in my friend's laptop.
Do I really need to buy new motherboard? what should be the source to buy? local laptop shops may sell duplicate, I just want it to work for normal usage. Now that GTX 1060 is launched, for games I am planning for pc. but will still need a laptop.

^^ it's probably your bootloader that has gone corrupt. Make a Bootable USB drive with the version of Windows you had and select "repair boot" or just select "automatic repair"

Tried the appropriate drivers appropriate updated drivers on the manufacturers website yet? If not, get them for your laptop model from the manufacturer's site.
