[rajbharath]

 

Computer specifications:

• Dell Studio 1558 ,Intel Core i5,4 GB of RAM,ATI/AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000,Windows 10 64 bit

 

Problem:

1. The problem started with the common error "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered...".
2. This was followed by several BSOD, associated to the video card (atikmpag.sys file).
3. Finally, after a couple of weeks, the laptop screen turned black, but the laptop was still in operation....i connectedthe laptop to an external monitor and resetted the pc the the laptop screen works there after few weeks again same problem occurs....all i want now is to disable the old gpu and run on the igpu of i5 processor ...do you guys know how to disable the gpu ...or any other solution.... because none of the drivers of ati Radeon 5000 work on win 10

thank you....but is there any chance that i can get re-enableed and cause the problem again? ...i just want to disable it forever

It will re-enabled if windows autoupdate the driver but it's so old i doubt window will update the driver.
You can check your laptop BIOS if there's is an option to only use iGPU. I know some OEMs have that option.
