now i reinstalled windows ..did not connect my laptop to internet because i think windows downloads it automaticaly and i will give it a second try with drivers installation
 
oki so far so good .. im installed drivers "with no issue" in order and now im installing intel graphic driver .. next will be the amd hope it works fine .. will let you know what happens ..
 
the one i tried to install is the latest one .. "

Description: This package contains the AMD Radeon R7 M445/M440 Graphics driver. A graphics or video driver"

it failed and it give me the atikmdag.sys error . then laptop blue screen collected errors .. restarted and open normally but amd driver is not installed so I think next step is :


I will try other versions of the driver .. and let you know what happened .. but i take a break now cuz i have work after 4 hours from now .. so i will try again after work need some sleep ..

sorry for spamming replays i just want to let you know everything im doing so u can find out if im doing something wrong ^^ .. thank you

 
yes i did but i cant downgrade it .. and idk how to flash it .. would be risky

i thought of that too cuz sometimes my gpu displayed as r7 m440 .. which is wrong ..
also there is a new bios update available in dell website .. should I try to update .. ?
or should I follow methods in internet to flash factory version .. 1st bios version in the site ..
let me know what you think
 
the thing is .. it works fine if i installed driver while on battery then connect charger .. i can play games on it with good frames as i used to be .
but when i restart/shutdown everything begin again so idk if its a hardware issue .. but i think i will take it to someone and i hope he can find out whats wrong with it :( .. thank you for all the help .
i really appropriate your time/effort ^^
 
Not a problem. The shop can better diagnose the issue since they will have the system in front of them. Best of luck.

Since you are showing that there is the latest version of the BIOS then no since updating it would accomplish nothing.

Updating something just because there is an update can some times make the issue work.

You should only update a driver or some thing to fix an current issue that you have.
