VAIO VGN-FZ21M Graphics Driver Problems

I have had this laptop for many years and it has generally been very good 

it has a  Radeon hd7500m/7600m series graphics card 

It recently started freezing the screen 

This occasionaly and then more frequently caused the laptop to shut down 

it then developed into a situation where it wouldnt restart 

I eventually managed to delete the graphics card 

it now apears to be operating on the microsoft basic display adapter

which has allowed it to restart but the graphics are not operating as they should 

when i tried to install the correct drivers the machine failed again and i had to repeat the process

i have read that you may need to update the intel drivers as well as the graphics drivers 

anybody had this issue and know a solution?

Hi Rons59 and welcome.

 

Which version of Windows are you running?

 

Have you tried installing the most recent AMD Graphics driver(16 Oct 2013)  from the downloads list for your model here:-
