Hi:

 

Download and install the AMD chipset drivers from the link below and restart the PC.

 

You want the 1st file listed on the webpage.

 

Those will install the smbus and usb 3 controllers...

Dude i love you! can you give me the best grafics card driver for the same notebook?

Personally, I think you should stick with the HP W7 graphics driver on your notebook's support page.

 

This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

However, if you want to experiment with the latest driver from AMD, here it is...You want the full Radeon software package.  The first one on the webpage.

I suggest before installing the driver directly from AMD, that you create a system restore point, so if the graphics driver makes things worse, you can easily revert to your original configuration before you had installed the generic AMD graphics driver.
