amd radeon hd8240 on W10 SLOWS computer
I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of this file ATIKMDAG.SYS.
BUT it is persistent. It is an AMD file for the HD8240 that consumes TOOOOOOOOOOO much CPU resources and slow the computer, sometimes to a HALT.
I am back at the oldest driver that Windows loads and I thought that this file was just in the later ones. BUT NO, it's back..........
AMDs latest drivers say they work for this device (8240). But if I load them the system stops......then starts.......then stops........CPU usage goes to 100%
the computer is an HP18-5041
Is there a way to prevent any AMD drivers from loading after I uninstall this one? OR run this driver without that file. I thought it was for the installer - which I shouldn't need at this point. It seems to work better that way.
