    Hey there , i have a m15x with a Raedon HD 5850 , i recently updated my computer, and now all of a sudden i cannot get to my login screen on start up, unless i run in safe mode. I tried to run in safe mode, and uninstall the driver in the Device manager, still didnt work. So i removed it completely now my PC will start up. I figured it was fixed, went to start up a game and the game would not open, but would say its running. I messed around, and reinstalled the driver, and control centre. it said the driver installed sucessfully, so i restart my laptop and it wont get back onto the login screen.. is my graphics card toast? or is this just a lil hardware problem im missing
