    Can only use "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" as my graphics driver


    I have a very similar issue, and I can confirm that this is a hardware problem. My video card chip is busted, as confirmed by a hardware repair store, and both Windows and Linux AMD drivers produce artifacts and crash after a while.
    Meanwhile, the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver works without a glich in simple desktop applications, and can even handle YouTube. The only issue is the resolution.

    Windows 8 users may try a modification of BasicDriver.sys that you can find on github (Google: basic_adapter_driver_modification), which gives you higher resolutions with the Basic Drisplay Adapter, but otherwise you're stuck with the low resolution.

    I actually think it's a decent trade-off. If the alternative is not being able to use the laptop at all. I'm sure many laptops with busted video cards may be safely used for office work with this minimal driver.
