before I begin, Naphtali asked me about your question, he knows i'm a notebook geek.
Check out the Forums on Notebookreview's website. These topics are discussed regularly there. Normally laptops such as yours have a soldered, dedicated card, not to mention it is designed to accept a certain power draw and heat thresh hold. Anything above that will shorten the life of your notebook.
In the future, if GPU upgrades are something you would like to try, I would pick up a clevo based notebook from Sager (buy from xoticpc), malibal, mythlogic, or any of the other clevo resellers/boutique vendors. Or buy alienware, and even the Dell mobile workstations can have MXM slot GPUs.
Your laptop most likely is soldered, but if it did have an MXM slot, you would then need to determine the version (2.0, 3.0, etc..) and the type (a, b, reversed, standard, etc...) Then there is a mountain of other factors to consider.
I would do your homework on NBR before dropping any cash, its a small chance its upgrade able.
Apparently, if you're using a samsung phone with touch whiz AND the stock browser, pre-jelly bean, you need to be carefu
The USSD code to reset the phone is *2767*3855#, meaning entering that at the phone screen resets the phone
Now that alone is not the important thing, but the fact that the combination touch whiz + standard browser allows this USSD being called by clicking a simple link in the browser.
I have no idea if there is a security prompt or not, but if you're on touch whiz and ICS, better switch to non-stock browsers for the time being, until samsung releases a patch for touch whiz or Jelly Bean for your phone.
Apparently using chrome prevents this from happening, for example

maps look fine here in the Seattle area. Satellite view looks a bit funky until it loads all the way. All of the "lol apple maps" screenshots I've seen look like people just didn't wait for all the data to load.
Thank you @IdentityCrisis that is exactly the information I need.
I didn't originally intend to upgrade my laptop's hardware but thought if it weren't too expensive that it might be a preferable solution to my problem over fiddling around with drivers and such.
Catalyst Control Center seems to have completely ballsed-up and re-downloading and installing my display drivers has yielded no result.
I'm even considering a fresh re-install of Windows in hopes it will flush wherever garbage is in my system out but I think I'll stick to software solutions from her on out.

It will end up costing you about $3 in storage fees and a 40-50 minute drive for a Kindle (more, I suppose, if you don't have and need to buy a valid passport). Plus you can fill up on gas while you're across the border and save like 20 cents a litre.
I've been using that place for years. Might actually be going down to pick something up this weekend.
Edit: it may also cost you if the Canadian border wants to charge you taxes on your items on the way back through. But I've only been charged once, and that was on a MacBook Pro that cost me a grand. Everything else that cost somewhere between $50-150 they didn't seem to care enough about.
Tankhammer You're planning on replacing the card in the laptop? You might be constrained by what the motherboard/case can handle or fit. Is the current 6770 in there a mobile edition card, and is it soldered to the motherboard? TBH you might be better at selling the laptop and getting a new one with a better card.
The card is a dedicated graphics card, not on-board. I haven't tried removing it yet but it is separate from the motherboard and my HP representative that comes through my store has told me people have replaced them easily-enough in the past. It was on hits suggestion that I started trying to look-up replacing it instead of trying to resolve the driver problem. The laptop is (or was in late 2011) very high-end so I doubt I'd be getting a good deal by putting it up on eBay. It's a $1200 machine that I chose because of its long-then viability.
I just wanted to know if there's an online resource to match my system with compatible hardware. I don't know my motherboard model off the top of my head but I can find it easily when I'm home.
I would think getting more appropriate drivers wouldn't be a terrible hassle.

So The Room is a kind of awesome puzzle game for the iPad. Pity it is so short, but it's a good time while it lasts.

I have to get them from some blog in Russia and grant them access to my system which makes me uneasy and apprehensive.
The official drivers won't work so my only choice is home-brewed, unofficial drivers, you see.
If I wanted to go through this kind of crap I'd be running Linux.
I can't! They won't allow it somehow! I CAN DO NOTHING.
AND I'LL BE IN THE OTHER OFFICE TOMORROW.
AGGRAVATING!
Do they just come by every day then?
I think so. For three tries, then it goes back. I'm not sure if the office manager girl will be around with this big stuff coming up here. Oh nooooooo.
Yeah @Tankhammer even though I am out of my depth on laptop computing, it strikes me as bizarre that someone would tell you to buy a new card as opposed to finding a way to change the drivers
Why can't you use the drivers straight from the AMD website? Failing that, why can't you roll back to an older HP-released driver version?

The card requires I use the drivers from HP's site over the direct-from-AMD drivers.
I can try rolling it back to see if it works again on older drivers. I'll do that tomorrow I think.
Getting a new card appeals to me because that means I can upgrade now rather than wait a couple years for my next machine. Until recently I've been able to run most programs and games on the highest settings but Borderlands 2 needs to be turned-down and it'd be cool to drop like a hundred bucks or so and be able to crank it back up to high.
The thing is, samsung has known about this and been silently fixing their phones for weeks or months even, by now.
Edit: The reason this was done silently was probably so even the slower carriers can get to it before it gets wide spread
On the SGS3 it doesn't work, even on 4.0.4, even on my slow-as-hell-to-update German carrier.
We've also heard the issue has been patched in newer updates on phones like the Galaxy Reverb, so it's clear Samsung is very much aware of the problem, and has already started addressing it on multiple pieces of hardware.
Even the low-budget phones are already being patched since forever. It should affect a really small number of people. And even those can still install a secondary browser.
So I've read a few iPhone 5 rundowns, correct me if I'm wrong here; there's absolutely nothing interesting about the new iphone at all. it's got a slightly longer screen, it's a little bit lighter. That's it. I thought Apple were supposed to be these amazing innovators? Aside from Siri and the retina display it doesn't appear to do anything that my second hand 3 doesn't do.

I dunno, what extra features do you want in a mobile phone?

My dad has a new Samsung smart tv and a Philips DVD/soundbar and I can't seem to figure out how to get the tv to use the soundbar as speakers.

Is it bullshit that they won't let you install the official drivers? I want to say that's some bullshit but laptops are crazy
