Amd Radeon Drivers problem.

Hello XDA,
I have recently installed Windows 8 pro x64 and loving it so far But......
I have a Hp Pavillion with Amd Radeon Hd 6470M. Under 'Device Manager' it is indicated as 7400M with that little 'caution symbol'.
I have tried to update the drivers via the catalyst Program 'v12' for windows 8, but if I try to install it says "catalyst cannot download drivers because of incompatible software bla bla bla. I got another setup from hp.de and I managed to proceed with the installation. During installation the screen flickers a lot 'normal I presume' but after restarting I get a blank screen, lots of flickering and the fun going nuts. I managed to get the catalyst software running through 'run' and uninstalled the newly installed drivers, back to normal!!
Until now the 'caution' symbol is persistent.
Does any one know where to get 3rd party drivers or if you have a solution it will be highly appreciated!!

No third party drivers mate... I had the same problem... My advice is to dual boot your lappy.. I have a DV6 pavilion... Also do not install catalyst manager software... The only thing you can do right now is to update the driver using device manager...

i have a dv7 i tried everything except the obvious and it worked. I downloaded my drivers from hp's support site. Changed the compatability to windows 7 and installed as admin worked great all back to normal.

On my dv6 3006tx the default Windows 7 drivers work well - if you can force the installation of them.
Look for a swsetup folder on your C:\ root. There may be correct drivers within there.
If not, manually download the correct driver's from HP's site. Do NOT use an automatic driver detector. Run the installer, and everything will extract to C:\AMD or something. Then you must install the driver files directly through Device Manager. Right click, update driver software. Try both options. Also try the 'have disk' sub-option, and navigate to the .inf files you find in the directory.
Unfortunately, it's mostly trial and error. The drivers probably will work - but AMD just won't let you install them! If only there were a way to bypass every single OS version check they make...
Also try the generic Windows 8 GPU drivers from AMD's site. You probably won't get switchable graphics, though.

I have similar problem on my Desktop PC with nVidia GeForce 210. Try this:
First download the latest driver for your GPU, then:
1. Disable Internet access (tur off WiFi / unplug cable)
2. Boot in Safe mode
3. Uninstall driver
4.Reboot in safe mood
5. Install the latest driver for your GPU
6. Reboot in Normal mode

I had problem with drivers on netbook asus 1015PN I solved it by disabling internet connection and installing older driver from asus website but first I installed ACPI driver to make nvidia optimus mode work

[Q] USB drivers can't find internal/SD Card

I used my PC to help restore my daughters Asus ZenPhone 5. This phone uses an Intel chip so I had to install the Intel USB/ADB drivers in order to access the phone to do data backup before I reset it. Now, I plug my Samsung Note 3 back into my PC and it isn't being recognized. So far, I've uninstalled the Intel drivers, reinstalled the Samsung USB drivers and in Windows Device Manager, I've gone to the Samsung ADB and let it find the best driver. Now my phone will show up but I can't see the internal / SD card memory. How do I restore that? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it a windows PC? If so, you can try to revert it back to the day before you installed the intel drivers. See if that helps

Or, You try to connect a locked device?

Try to install samsung kies for updated drivers.

Windows 8.1 has the samsung drivers in windows update.

no driver worked......i try clean install of windows 7 and use my driver cd but,,there is no sound

So you formatted again and did another install of Windows 7, and it still doesn't show up? Is it onboard audio? Check the BIOS to ensure it's enabled.
Google brings up a lot of results, have you tried looking at them? What does Device Manager show?
If it still doesn't work, the sound card/motherboard if onboard might be dead.

I can't count on two hands how many people, including myself had this upgrade problem. Always audio or video.
Firstly, I'd check to see on the notebook/pc manufacturer website if they have Windows 10 drivers for your model. That's the best place to start.
Some older drivers are getting automatically updated through Windows Update. It seems Microsoft has encouraged some key driver updates. E.g. Intel integrated graphics.
Lastly, uninstall the driver, reboot your computer, now, install the driver again under compatibility mode for the version of Windows you have.
For audio, compatibility mode worked. Get this. My notebook came with Windows 7. The Windows 7 driver works (after about 20 attempts) but the Windows 8 driver doesn't. My understanding is that Windows 8 drivers are a bit more compatible with 10 than 7. But the 7 driver actually worked better.
Let us know how you get on.

Flashtool driver install package also didn't work in my Windows 10 x64. You can install driver for XC from Sony.

Have you tried the Sony drivers? I am a newbie to using flashtool and after I read that Win8 and 10 need some special permissions, I installed it on my old computer running Win7. Worked like a charm. So if you have an old Win7 machine lying around, why not use that for flashing.

Yes I know about windows 10 driver signature verification, I already disabled it and installed drivers successfully, but the app itself wont run up!
