This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1100 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1125 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz. AMD has paired 2,048 MB DDR3 memory with the Radeon R7 M360, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs.

The Meso graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 125 mm² and 1,550 million transistors. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon R7 M360.

Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Meso graphics processor, in its Meso XT variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. Would be nice to get the GPU working (without killing the laptop of course) for Solidworks and other GPU accelerated worloads.Īny suggestions? Taking this laptop apart is quite simple so i don't mind probing around.The Radeon R7 M360 was a mobile graphics chip by AMD, launched on May 5th, 2015. My current HP laptop is falling apart and there's only so much fiberglass i can epoxy on it before it's too far gone, also it has an AMD A4400 CPU which is mega slow. It has a nice 1080p screen and a pretty good i5 CPU and i'd like to use it as my study/university laptop.

No GPU usage monitor in task manager (win10).īenchmarks report GPU as not responding and default to iGPU.Īs it happens i'm writing this thread with the laptop i question. The symptoms for this dead GPU issue include:ĭrivers don't initialize and throw an error message on start up. I tried the good old bake in the oven trick, which fixed a few of my dead PC parts and laptops but not this one.

When i pulled the heatsink apart i found a huge load of lint and dust buildup so the laptop was most likely constantly overheating.Īs it happens overheating GPU's often die. I fixed the broken plastic with hot glue and it's all fine now, except for the GPU. The laptop originally had the hinge support broken off completely in the lower chassis/bottom cover. My focus in this thread is the Satellite L50-B-281, which was in the bundle. He said all of them work but they all have issues, and it's true. Local PC repair guy had some laptops in the e-waste bin so i bought them for cheap, as i do.
