I really need an answer. I am using a bit old laptop so it is a bit hard finding solutions especially to my rare case. I have a dell precision 3510. i have an intel graphics card and an AMD FirePro W5130M. my laptop had also been experiencing performance issues in the past month but i thought it was some virus and i was going to reset the whole laptop anyway. i then reset the laptop and downloaded windows online. everything was fine until a day later my screen froze out of the blue. i tried force shutdown then boot again and it worked. i continued using it till it happened again. this time after rebooting the screen froze a few seconds later and after rebooting for the third time the screen turns off at the end of the boot. I thought windows was corrupted so i tried reinstalling but i ended up experiencing the same issue. i kept on trying to find the solution till i finally realized the problem of the screen freezing happens when windows tries to install the AMD FirePro W5130M driver. I tried various ways to fix this like disabling the intel graphics card and forcing windows to not enable it and then try installing the AMD FirePro W5130M driver again and it worked. But, after restarting there was a yellow sign in the driver's name in device manager. i tried updating it but it said it didnt need any updates. i opened it and i found error code 43. Now I give up and i hope someone will be able to help me. feel free to ask any questions about my case. thank u in advance. And is it really a hardware problem? I mean other users have reported the same thing even in this website but i didnt find the solution sadly. I also tried downloading windows 11 on my unsupported hardware, still didnt work... please help. thanks
