HP pavilion g6-1040se
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,  I need some help or instructions about my situation. I have a problem looking for the switchable graphics options for my laptop. The integrated GPU is Intel HD graphics ironlake and the discrete GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7400M series. The original OS of this laptop is Windows 7 64-bit. I upgraded my OS into Windows 10 64-bit. After installing the drivers needed for my laptop, I noticed the Configure Switchable Graphics options is missing, even the AMD Catalyst Control Center. I installed the CCC successfully, but the switchable graphics options for AMD is missing. Now, every time I am running a high graphics content (such as video streaming) the laptop will automatically switch to the AMD graphics card. I notice this because the screen will flicker severally. However, several minutes after ending the high graphics content, the laptop attempts to switch back to the intel GPU card automatically. But sometimes this may fail and I get a blue screen alerting me that Video time delay has failed. Also, I cannot select the switchable graphics from the desktop option because it is missing.

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I read through the linked content about notebook pcs. I still cannot determine whether my GPUs are fixed or switchable. This is because the ccc has no option for switchable graphics settings. It looks nowhere near the ccc in windows 7. I have attached a screenshot of the UI. My current ccc is AMD-Catalyst-15.11.1Beta-64Bit-Win10 but am not sure its the correct version. I cannot set any switchable settings whatsoever. It happens automatically, but it keeps on failing.screenshot.jpg

Let's uninstall the display drivers:

 

1) In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select Device Manager from the list of results.

2) In Device Manager, expand Display Adapter.

3) Right-click on the Display Adapter, and then select Uninstall device > Delete the driver software for this device check box > Uninstall.

4) Restart the computer.  

 

Let me know if this helps.
