I installed a new screen, cpu and battery in my old laptop over the weekend.
But now every time I go to open a program, (steam, minecraft, runescape), the program will begin to load, then crash.

google chrome works just fine as im typing this right meow.

Windows 7 64bit

steam was a fresh install but the rest of the programs were still on the harddrive before i did the upgrade.

E/ my amd control panel also loads, then crashes.
anything else seems to work fine and the laptop runs like a charm

E2/ I have also downloaded and installed the proper drivers for the upgraded cpu

I'm confused about "proper drivers for CPU". Motherboards have drivers, as do vid cards. CPUs don't have drivers, maybe that's where the problem is.

/e I doubt there were any motherboard drivers that needed "updated". ??



/ee As a test, uninstall the vid card drivers, run DDU, do a clean install of vid card drivers.
If that solves the AMD control panel crashing...then your other crashing problems may be corrupt drivers.

hmmm
i downloaded this tool to get everything I thought I needed for the CPU

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

I also just downloaded gyazo to take screenshots of my speccy, but it also loaded about 98% then crashed.

E/ got it to work

In the past, we have seen a lot of issues with the Automatic AMD driver finder.

If it were me, I would manually download the motherboard drivers, the vid card driver...save them somewhere...the do a clean install of the OS.


/e Like download the proper drivers for the laptop...straight from HP.


What is the make and model of that laptop? I mean I know it's an HP, but the model number would be nice.

im going to eat right quick, then ill look it all up for you.

is there anywhere i can get a windows 7 download? i have a key but no disc or anything

Ooooh, what's for lunch?

And...yeah.


/e But we should definitely find the drivers first, before we mess with your OS install.

Rollback all drivers to defaults and try again


Right click each "device" in the device manager, and choose rollback driver or whatever it's called
