I own an HP Victus 15-fb0106AX with the following specifications:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
AMD Radeon Integrated Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (4GB)
16GB RAM
Windows 11

I have been facing a persistent issue where enabling the AMD Radeon Graphics driver causes severe display lag, desktop stuttering, and occasional black screens.

Symptoms

    • Desktop animations, Windows Search, Start Menu, and typing are noticeably laggy.
    • Random black screens during normal usage.
    • Mouse movement and UI feel delayed.
    • BIOS runs perfectly smooth with no lag.
    • YouTube and videos sometimes play smoothly while the Windows desktop continues to lag.

If I disable the AMD Radeon Graphics device in Device Manager (or uninstall its driver), the lag disappears completely. As soon as the AMD graphics driver is installed and enabled again, the lag and black screen issues return.

  • Troubleshooting Already Performed
  • Performed a complete factory reset of Windows (issue still persists).
  • Used Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in Safe Mode to completely remove AMD and NVIDIA graphics drivers.
  • Installed the latest AMD Chipset Driver.
  • Installed the latest AMD Graphics Driver from AMD.
  • Installed the latest NVIDIA Game Ready Driver using Clean Installation.
  • Updated BIOS from F.24 to F.26 Rev.A.
  • Installed drivers in the recommended order after DDU.
  • Verified both AMD Radeon Graphics and NVIDIA RTX 3050 are correctly detected in Device Manager.
  • Tested with Windows disconnected from the internet to prevent Windows Update from installing drivers automatically.
Despite all these steps, the problem remains exactly the same.

  • Is this a known issue with the HP Victus 15-fb0106AX?
  • Is there a recommended AMD graphics driver version that is known to be stable?
  • Are there any additional firmware updates or diagnostics that I should perform?
  • Based on these symptoms, should I have the laptop inspected for a possible motherboard or integrated GPU hardware issue?

Newer amd drivers are bit unstable. First download and software version 24.9.1  from amd driver site. It shows previous version and you may get directly there if you search version. 

After download, pause windows update then use ddu in safe and then run this amd software 24.9.1 and install it. 

Now check and let me results. Don't resume windows update as it will try to overwrite other amd driver. If this version work good then let me know. I will tell how to prevent windows from installing another version and then we resume update. 

 

If issue remains then do ddu again and reinstall same version but this time do driver only installation, avoid amd software
