Hello dear community,
I've just formatted my notebook again and installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The problem is that system is unable to detect my graphics card - Radeon HD 7600M, which was working fine before. Device manager is showing it as a standard VGA graphics card. My notebook is also using Intel HD graphics 4000 and it's working fine after manually instaling required drivers. When I am trying to install drivers for Radeon, two things are happening:
- setup manager returns error message that installation process failed(I've even tried to edit "InstallManager.cfg" file and change "WorkaroundInstall=false" to true, setup manager installed everything(AMD catalyst, etc.), just not the driver
- as soon as setup manager is trying to detect my graphics card, blue screen appears and notebook is rebooting
It is pretty random which one of the above things will happen. I've tried installing few different drivers and nothing changed. I've also tried(in the device manager) to manually choose the location with the driver - Windows tells me that system knows it's the Radeon HD 7600M device, but cannot install the drivers.
During the format, I deleted ALL partitions and created new ones. I remember that there was a small partition(which I left untouched during the earlier notebook format), but this time I deleted it too. Maybe this partition had some important HP data which is causing this problem now?
I am also attaching a screenshot of my device manager:
On the screen you can see that I have two unknown devices(second one is the PCI unknown device) and my graphics - while Intel is fine, Radeon is detected as a standard VGA. I've tried many things how to install the drivers for it but I've run out of ideas. Looking for reply and hopefully - a solution 🙂
