My game freezes during loading screen after race selection

I'm only looking for help with DA:I, but I'm going to mention everything in case it helps figure out what's wrong as I have no idea if any of it is interconnected. Last week I had to get a screen rep...

Here's how to use AMD switchable graphics. Power Saving will use the chipset, the not so good GPU and High Performance will use the dedicated, or better GPU.

When an application launches which requires the additional power of the high performance AMD graphics card, systems with AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics technology seamlessly switch over to that graphics card, and then turn it off when no longer required.

The switching to the AMD graphics depends on application profiles. If an application has no such profile, you can assign the graphics card manually:

Right-click your desktop, and select Catalyst Control Center.

From the Power drop-down menu, select Switchable Graphics.

Click Browse and navigate to select the program.

Click Power Saving or High Performance to select the graphics card to use for that specific application.

Okay, you were right about DA:I, the problem was that I needed to switch over to my dedicated driver. 🙂

Unfortunately, the person who put my screen in ordered the wrong one. Apparently, it was the right type of screen for the laptop only this one wasn't made for faster fps so that driver is just too much for it, therefore I'm unable to switch to it. We're gonna look into maybe ordering a screen for the laptop from the maneufacturer since apparently they are not common. Thanks for the help!

I'm glad that is the issue but, sorry you've got to spend more money for a new screen again. It helps when purchasing replacement or upgrade parts for your computer to specify what the machine is used for. Gaming, school work, presentation, email, video editing, etc... You are more likely to get parts suitable for what you do when you do that.

"So, will this be okay for modern gaming like Dragon Age Inquisition, Fallout and stuff as well as streaming HD video?" Is a good thing to as when getting new display or graphics parts. It insures you get something that will work for what you want.
