I have had trouble with my switchable graphics card- specifically, whenever my Radeon 8770M kicks in, my screen goes to black within a few seconds and I have no option but to shut down and start up again.
The computer works fine on just the HD4000- I determined the above by using the AMD Catalyst Control Center to force the switchable graphics on or off; the problems shows up when I force it on and disappears when it's off.
I've had the computer about 2 years and I have definitely used the switchable graphics many times before so this is a new issue. Has happened in a variety of programs that I've definitely used the Radeon in before. Running Windows 8.1 and have tried all the Radeon drivers- newest, oldest, and quite a few in between that I got from the AMD website. Nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't want to take it to a computer repair place and have them physically tear apart the hardware but I'm running out of ideas.
