Hi,
Today I updated my AMD drivers (i.e. AMD Catalyst Control Center) from version 12 to 14.501.1003 in an effort to boost frame rates during gaming. I didn't see any performance boosts, but I didn't rollback to the earlier version. Ever since then, my laptop seems to hang after I close a performance demanding game. The freeze isn't permanent and takes between 30-45 seconds before it goes away, but it's still nonetheless annoying and might be indicative of a greater issue for my computer. In addition, I've found that every time I shut down my computer, after the "Shutting down..." appears the screen simply goes black and does not fully turn off until I manually do it myself with the power button.
I'm not sure if all these problems are stemming from the update itself, but I can't think of anything else I've done that would cause these issues.
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: AMD A8-3520
GPU: Radeon HD 6620G + HD 7690M
I don't know what other info is needed, so please reply if anything else is required. Thank you!
