First of all, greetings to everyone. My computer model is W7S99EA.
My computer features:
AMD A8-7410 APU R5
R7 M340 GPU
8 GB of RAM.
About a year ago, my computer was fine, but since I downloaded the AMD Catalyst software, my computer has been running poorly in every game. I get a blue screen error in some games. In some games, my computer restarts. I removed the software. I have formatted many times. I have tried all of the AMD drivers. (17.1.1-20.1.3) I tried all versions of Windows 10 (1607-1909) But still I couldn't find the answer to my problem. I tried the drivers on the HP site but it still hasn't improved so I need your help. Because even in the lowest games, my computer is not performing. For example, in League Of Legends game, I see 90-110 FPS in the middle settings, while I have been seeing 35-55 FPS in the lowest settings for 1 year. Please help me. Thank you from now.

Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is freezing when you are playing games.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I checked the specifications of you computer and see that the computer you have is not a gaming laptop. Having said that, I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check if it helps.
BIOS: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp100501-101000/sp100947.exe
Graphics: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp82001-82500/sp82032.exe
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Thank you for the answer. But I have already tried this method. The driver in the link you provided is 17.1.1 version. I tried this version both from the link you provided and from AMD's own site. But the result is negative. The problem continues.

Is the computer freezing when you are not playing games? (Like working on applications)
Meanwhile, I recommend you run a system test on the computer following the steps in the below article to make sure that there are no hardware issues.
