AMD driver problems

[Tass]

i just updated my amd driver in the media rig, and it litterally fucked the entire system up.

all playback went sluggish and slow, could not figure out why. so i reverted to the old driver, and now pretty much everything "stops working" when i try to load it.

Kodi, Explorer, IE etc.

 

i have been trying to figure this out for 4 hours and i give up. unless somone has some usefull ideas.

btw, there are no viruses, no malware etc. it is clean. only use it for kodi and YT playback.

 

right now i am thinking of doin a complete rebuild from scratch and NOT use the latest driver angain....

Do you have the Omega driver?

Also which gpu you got there? 

And where is the monitor cable connected, mobo or gpu?

amd catalyst omega driver 14.12 - got it at AMDs site, using the GFX Card name.

GFX HD7410

cable is in the GFX port.

^{Uninstall the driver that you're currently using and then use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDO) to clean the registry of previously used driver settings.}

Are you using an APU?

 

Make sure you're using the APU driver and not the regular graphics driver. If you ARE using an APU, you'll have to reinstall the SB drivers as well.

nope, it is a full blown standalone 7410

Ah...

 

It's a 7410m. It's a mobile processor...

 

In that case, you'll have to download the mobile drivers.

 

Are the specs or model number of PC/Notebook you're trying to update the drivers on? Having them would make things much easier.

dammit, i missed the >m< grrrrrrrr

that explains it.... i hope.

 

i already found the correct mobility driver, actually the exact same size and name as the other file....

 

should have figured that one out myself, it as a complete fanless shuttle pc...

[Tass]

actually it is the exact same size Down to the byte.... :huh:

 

well the driver Works, bu still more sluggish and slower then the old driver. might revert back.....

[Tass]

Well im back at where i started. an oooooold 8.9 driver. everything else just completely fucks up the system. Unstable, sluggish and laggy and the occasional crash.

oh well. was hoping for a bit better performance whilest i am waiting for a fanless NUC.

 

thank you for the help. will use DDU with future driver updates (if i find a usefull one)

Threads like these are what stops me from going back to AMD.

The 7410 isn't a rocket either so i dont believe it would benefit from the latest drivers, just stick with what was working

Do you know the pain of owning a first batch reference 290 ?

I have a friend that i built a computer for, it had a 280 in it, he updated to the latest beta driver the other day without telling me and his sytem start spazzing out and blue screening. Simply going back to the omega driver and uninstalling the current one fixed it

i do not think this is justified as problems comparable to current amd GPUs. the 7410m is rather old and weak (in todays standards), but does a great job in my media center (completely fanless). Sadly some of the later hard compressed video formats / codecs are giving it a hard time (hence the driver update) apart from that, i am completely happy with it (and the old driver)
