Product: HP ProBook 4540s Notebook PC
Operating System: Ubuntu LTS
My laptop is HP probook 4540s and it comes with Core i5 with integrated graphics and AMD Radeon™ HD 7650M gpu
When I used to use Windows the drivers were working fine but one time I was updating the driver and the laptop crashed since then the drivers doesn't work anymore on Windows and it doesn't on Linux so I think it's a bios problem
I was updating the firmware from an app called driver hub could it be updating the GPU BIOS instead of the driver and if my GPU died it's there any way to fix it using software
It looks like the graphics card driver is missing from bios
Well reinstalling bios fix it ?
