Re: AMD Radeon HD 8600/8700 M
PROBLEM: I can’t open Vegas Pro 13. It resorts to a screen that says "Vegas Pro has stopped working"
Here’s my story …
I bought a new laptop. It’s an HP Probook 450.
Then I upgraded to Vegas Pro 13.
Life was good.
Then I got a free upgrade to Windows 10. I took the plunge. Life seemed good.
A few weeks later I couldn’t access Vegas 13.
Someone suggested disabling my AMD Radeon, then opening Vegas 13, then enabling my AMD Radeon again.
It worked!
But I had to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME I wanted to open Vegas 13 to work on a project.
And then I started getting big blue screens with warnings and errors. It seemed to be coming from Windows and it was always the same error: “Internal Power Error”
After flashing me that blue screen it would restart my laptop. This became a repeated pattern.
But wait. It gets worse.
After it restarts, it allows me only a few seconds to try to type in a command or open a file before it flashes that same screen w the words “internal power error” – before sending me back into that vicious loop of restarting and error messages.
So then I spent 3 days w Windows Tech Support. They had me try all kinds of stuff. They were pretty clueless as to how to fix this problem. After about 20 hours worth of chat sessions and phone calls they referred me to a Microsoft store.
Luckily one had just opened about 45 minutes away.
So off I went. They were able to get in long enough to disable my AMD Radeon HD driver before my laptop went into warning and restart mode.
Once they disabled the AMD Radeon HD driver we were able to go online and update it.
This seemed to work. The laptop didn’t flash any more of those “internal power error” warnings and reboot repeatedly.
I even opened Vegas 13 in front of them. Then I opened a project.
It worked!! Life was good!!
Then I drove home and plugged in my laptop. I can get to the desktop – and I no longer have repeated cycles of warning screens and reboots.
However …
I CAN’T OPEN VEGAS!
So what do you propose I do?
If I disable the updated AMD Radeon HD 8600/8700 M driver the Microsoft tech guy just installed I think it might let me open Vegas.
But will it put me back into that nasty loop of "internal power error" screens and reboots? I'm not sure I want to go through that again.
Please help. I will be eating copious amounts of chocolate and happy pills until I can get this resolved. I just want my Vegas Pro 13 to work bc I saved up for so long to be able to buy it. And I’m being denied.
Thank you.
