Windows 10 crashes after installing latest AMD graphics drivers

Hi,

I did a fresh install of windows 10 on my laptop. When I try to install the AMD graphics drivers, windows freezes. After force shutdown and restart, windows freezes on the login screen.

Then, if I boot into safe mode and disable the AMD drivers, then it runs fine. But, enabling the drivers again causes the same issue.

The driver for the integrated graphics works fine.

I ran the dism commands for ScanHealth and RestoreHealth. There was no error.

I ran sfc /scannow. There was no error

Laptop: Lenovo Z51-70

Processor: Intel i5 5200U

Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500

GPU: AMD R9 M375

    Thanks for the info. 

    But I'm not sure changing drivers will solve this issue on my laptop. I'm very glad, though, that something worked for you.

    Hi! 

    Thanks for your answer. I guess I might have to do the same, and just hope for it to work.

    Hi Prakhar,

    I was hoping you could help me out as well. 

    I have had this issue for the last three months, the laptop monitor is blank but works normally on an external monitor. If I need it to work on the laptop, I must disable Intel's display driver. Laptop then runs on Microsoft Basic Display adapter.

    I have reinstalled OS, tried several times to download the correct Intel driver, but nothing seems to get it working normally. 

    Best,

    Surabhi

    Hi,

    Facing the same issue. Even tried with a fresh install of windows. As soon as I update the driver from the device manager, the laptop freezes and I have to force shutdown. Idk if its related, but started to face the problem after the recent installation of epic games launcher and Gta V.

    Will be very thankful if someone could suggest anything.

    Thank You
