Help with Swtchable graphics, BSODing

[Infernomoonsault]

Hello

So I recently ran into a problem, with AMD's catalyst control center, where my laptop Bluescreen's if I try to open CCC. The same also happens when I try to set my Switchable graphics to "High Performance" in Windows Power Options. When the laptop restarts, the display drivers are broken, and the screen runs at 1024x768. I reinstalled drivers multiple times, both AMD and Intel igp, since my laptop has switchable graphics. The Intel Drivers install correctly and have no problem. The AMD ones sometimes do, sometimes don't (Even after installing they break when I try to open CCC and/or set switchable graphics to high perf.). I know this is not really much of a problem, but most games straightaway decline to run if the Switchable graphics aren't set to High Performance. I thought of installing the standalone drivers for my GPU, but without CCC there are no switchable graphics and I anyways can't enable high performance.

 

Its been a long day of troubleshooting and I am very tired, hence pardon me for my broken english or incomplete provided info.

 

Specs:

Core i3 2350m

Intel 3000 + Radeon HD 6630m

4gb RAM

Windows 10, 64 bit

 

Thanks for your help in Advance.

 

PS: The error code for the BSOD is atikmdag.sys or kernel_mode_heap_corruption

Switchable graphics systems are proprietary , if you are attempting to use generic intel/amd drivers and aren;t using the driver made for the switchable graphics system by the actual manufacturer of the laptop , then yeah this would be the expected result. 

A machine that old most likely wasn;t running windows 10 so you;d want to either find the windows 10 driver for that laptop from the manufacturer , or revert back to the original OS , or don't use the switchable graphics anymore.

Remove AMD's catalyst control center

Remove Intel's Drivers

Do this from Device Manager and check the remove driver box. Reboot.

Leave generic drivers or only install basic drivers, even first release drivers would be suitable.

The thing that confuses me is the fact that I installed Win 10 on this machine about 2 years ago and up until now, there were no errors with CCC or the AMD drivers for that matter. This BSOD occurred out of the blue.

Guess no switchable graphics for me
