Anyone had a simillar problem as this one? Also, is it possible to replace that graphics card with at least the same version on this laptop? After another 2 clean installs (the one time windows 10 automatically insalled the driver, the second time it hasn't ) its now working normally ALTHOUGH without the AMD Radeon 7670m, since no driver is installed and it doesn't reads it up & doesn't crashes.Īs I said above, I'm about 90% sure its the graphics card failing or already dead. It worked normally for a day and a half, and then I decided to finally install the amd graphics card driver (strange how it didnt auto install the driver that first time.) And then, it crashed again, bsod again with 'THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER'. Then I did another clean install of windows, with windows 7 and then I upgraded to windows 10 (since it is still free from the Accessibility upgrade feature), and thought I was all fine. It crashed and started with the BSODs again. From Dell's website, yes, I used the manufacturers drivers as I am supposed to. Did a clean install, everything was fine, untill I tried to install the driver for the graphics card from AMD. I turned on the laptop with my recharger in, it would crash on start (probably because of it trying to start the dedicated graphics card since its on high performance ).Īfter that kept going for a few times, I decided to do a fresh, clean install of Windows (at that time it was windows 7). And all of a sudden, the windows started to give me random BSODs, if for ex.

Few times on dota2, I tried once on CSGO, same thing. This problem occurred everytime I tried to open some game. As I opened the game, the screen froze, game crashed, had an error 'Desktop windows manager has stopped working' and I think if I can recall good, I also had some popup saying that the AMD driver crashed and restarted again (or something along those lines). About a week or so ago, I turned on the laptop, did spend some time on it on facebook etc, and then decided to play some games (dota 2 in particular, not that it matters.).

I am using a Dell Inspilaptop with a dedicated graphics card - ATI Radeon 7670m - and I am almost 90% sure its failing on me. Can it be the cause of thread stuck in device driver AND can it be replaced? TL DR : I assume graphics card failing (amd radeon 7670m) on a dell inspiron 3521 laptop. This is my first time posting here, and its an urgent post (to some extent).
