They you may want to install the proprietary video driver.

It should help

I've looked under system settings>software&updates>additional drivers but it says no additional drivers are available?

Could try the 4.2 kernel. It may help

Alright, I've developed a new problem... My resolution is way off and theres no option to change it, under my settings details it no longer shows my AMD R710 graphics and the output of sudo lshw -c display has changed to:

 *-display UNCLAIMED

You'll see now it says, "UNCLAIMED" at the top and the configuration line has changed

I really need some help with this whenever you have a minute :)

Is this with the 4.2 kernel?

No, this happened after I shutdown to clean my fans

But I think it may be a result of something i did before I shutdown and I tried undoing everything I could remember but it's still funked up

Do you think installing the 4.2 kernel would fix this? Or is there another way to fix?

It's worth a try. Lots of guides online.

I'm in the 4.2.6 kernel but the graphics card still isn't showing up , and the sudo lshw is the same as before :(

*forgot to mark as needing help

From what I can tell it's basically not seeing the AMD R710 graphics now, right? That seems to be the root of my issues
