I have a Lenovo ThinkPad E575 (it is a laptop) when I first got it I could overclock it but it was relatively unstable but it would work. But a week or so after that it would not overclock not even with afterburner. I cam very confused as to why it will not overclock anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Details: AMD A10 9600P 2.4Ghz, AMD R5 + R6 M435DX Linked (Strange I know), 2GB VRAM, 8GB DDR4 RAM 2400mhz.
Can't overclock AMD Graphics Card

It sounds like they pushed a BIOS update to prevent overclocking as this is a laptop and those are mobile components.
Overclocking increases heat exponentially, and heat reduces the life span of your hardware exponentially.
Most likely was disabled to prevent people from breaking their laptops prematurely.
Could also be due to thermal limitations. During the first week of use, all of the fans and vents had no dust in them whatsoever but after a bit of use even 10% dust can greatly reduce the efficiency of laptop coolers.

It's possible that you've pushed it too far, and now it's protecting itself from any further overclocking.
