Aspire 7750G BSOD - GPU crashing - can't update

linusfatale

Hi, I'm new here!

I'm having a problem with my product as the subject states. It started when I was playing an online game while having other apps running. I'm definitely sure that it's my gpu that's causing my system to crash since I disabled it in BIOS and now I'm only using the intergrated graphics, and it works pretty fine. No BSOD while playing/from windows start up, unlike when I was on switchable graphics mode. Before I did this solution just so I can use my laptop, I've already tried updating my graphics driver but to no avail, it fails and I always get BSOD upon restarting. Any thoughts on how can I possibly update my driver successfully?

Acer Aspire 7750G
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
Inter Core i5-2450M
AMD Radeon HD 7670M, 1GB
8GB DDR3

P.S. It's not an overheating issue since my GPU temp only goes around 60c-70c when in game(Ragnarok Online 2) + Chrome + Skype + Raidcall + Line
Updating the driver gives me atikmpag.sys BSOD error on start up

linusfatale,

 

I can really only suggest some disassembly to make sure that the fan that cools the GPU is clean. I understand that you say it's not overheating, but 60-70C (140 degrees F) is pretty warm, it sounds like it's not getting the cooling it needs.
