AMD Graphic Card in Lenovo G-5080 Model, i5- 3rd generation

I have bought my Lenovo Laptop G 50-80 model in June 2016. It has a 2gb dedicated graphic card of AMD. For 1 year it was working fine like I have played many games like CS Go, Dota 2, Player Unknown Battlegrounds and many other games but from month or two i am having a problem of frames and losses while playing games. Is it due to internal laptop error or my graphic card has lost its liability?

mh,


heat?

1. unscrew your laptop and clean the hardware with compressed-air-spray // especially the coolers
2. unscrew the coolers and use a good thermal paste (like Thermalgrizzly Aeronaut or Kryonaut)


wrong SW?

3. use the GPU driver from Lenovo Website // or try to find most potent driver for your device

4. if your laptop uses APU or Intel iGPU - try to disable them (in Bios or Driver)


Power?
5. maybe your PSU is to weak now - buy a stronger one fitting your Laptop (like my Acer V5 came with 65W and i bought 90W)


improve performance?
6. lower your resolution: 1080p isnt needed - play in 1366x768 or 1280x720 // ps i sometimes even play in 752x424 // ps try using http://benmanshafen.de/downloads/ReSwitch.7z​ for it (http://benmanshafen.de/downloads/ReSwitch_addGames.7z​ give settings to increase FPS - all rights Low Specs Experience – RagnoTech™ Software Solutions)

My system not working well. every time i turn it on I gets the black screen. Nothing shows other than the black screen. Sometimes the cursor shows on the screen. but the system not working. Will Lenovo Support help me to solve this issue?

Plug an external monitor into the laptop, if you get a signal then the screen on the laptop has a problem, if you do not get a signal then it is a problem with the motherboard video card.  Either way you will need to take it in for servicing.

Hello,

Please give us the whole specs of the laptop and a detailed description of what is happening, if you want troubleshooting help.

Otherwise as @articwind said, dunno why you spend time to even post your issue here, bring it to servicing!
It avoid me to loose time and pain to explain things, building useful contents for the forum users.
Yeah you get the best top notch ignorant answer here: bring it to servicing, dunno why you even stopped to post here!

See Lenovo support is always there to help but sometimes you get the customer executives which are out of the world. They take proper time and in the end disconnect it. It is frustrating. So thats why if you have people who knows about your issues and can help you without wasting much time just keep it simple and easy.

Since you say it will sometimes show the mouse cursor, it's obviously not the graphics, otherwise you wouldn't even get that.

If you have anything important on the thing, pull the drive out and copy the important files to another computer or a backup drive, and then put the drive back in the laptop and reinstall winblowz.  That will probably fix the problem.
