Checked for CCC and there was nothing found.  Hmm?  Anyway, I downloaded the newest CCC and now my driver is Version 8.970.100.1100.  So far, no problems.  (knock on wood!)

Normally this isnt the video driver. The monitor itself controls the brightness of the screen and on laptops the bios in the motherboard lets windows control the brightness. Which is supposed to be used for when the system goes on battery it windows will lower the brightness of the monitor to save battery life.

The video card normally doesn't do anything with brightness, normally that is. I am also thinking more of normal desktop monitors. Laptop monitors might be more controlled by the video drivers since they actually could have access to the monitors chips where on external monitors they cant, I haven't ever looked into it enough to see if that is the case.

As a test you could hook up a external monitor to the vga port and have the 2 screens going, have them set to clone each other. Then if it happens again see if it only happens to the laptop screen and not the external monitor.

When you downloaded the other driver, did you click on the link for the latest Win 7 drivers ?

The one I get for the HD6310 is what the auto detect gives as the most suitable, but causes the red hue for some reason.

When this first happened, I Googled and found this had happened previously with other AMD GPUs without any solution offered.

However, I've only ever gotten the one you just have for the HD 3200 so assume that one is no longer supported, but it's always best to run the auto detect so that you (should) get the correct driver.
