BSOD, lock ups at boot, blank screens... generally not much use on a computer used for CAD! The driver situation for this GPU seems to be fragile at best... Will move on to my Nvidia Games machine and CAD on the 60" telly for now!
Contacted PCS to see if i can get a price for a GTX option of some description so I can bin the Radeon...
Cheers

Ok. Having exhausted options on drivers and also catalyst removal, just used amd removal tool...
Windows won't boot now and repair option not working.
Looking at a new install again- not sure if its clevo / amd issue, but ive got an 1800 quid laptop that doesnt work... ridiculous

Did you check the memory.dmp file to see what was causing the bsods or are you assuming it's the graphics card?

Sounds a bit odd mate.
I have a friend who has this card and his doesn't cause him any problems. Are you sure that it is the card that is causing the problems?

Taken the secondary drive with my work on it out before having to do a reinstall as only option given via windows. Will put in my acer desktop replacement laptop (hoorah for old lappys) and throw this thing in the corner til I get a new (non amd) gpu...
Issues only started since a driver update (knowing what a pain this gpu was to start with id ignored it) and won't boot since using amd total clean from their site...
Drawing safely moved to external hard drive via my old acer-At least i can book for a days work now!
time to investigate gtx m's...
Note: Despite offering an upgrade package online - PCS will not sell me a nvidia card for my vortex - so pretty much useless.
will be a purchase secondhand or ebay...
not impressed - won't be purchasing again...
cheers
