AMD Radeon HD 8670M won't show in dxdiag (HP Pavilion 14)

Hello,
I just bought HP Pavilion 14 N037-TX
Intel‎‎ Core‎‎ i5-4200U 1.6GHZ
‎4 GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 8670M 2GB DDR3
The notebook already had Ubuntu (uninstalled now) and then I installed Windows 8.1 64 Bit.
I installed the necessary drivers from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=id&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5448...
However, the driver for AMD Radeon didn't work, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-126598-1&cc=id&dlc=en&lc=en...
The installer failed to install AMD Catalyst Control Center and it says "Application Install: install package failure!"
And then I took a look the installation log, it said the installer only install the OEM but not the Catalyst Control. I keep looping install-uninstall the driver but it's always gave the same result.
I already tried some driver from AMD, this one: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx
and then this one: http://www.driverscape.com/download/amd-radeon-hd-8760
and this one too: http://www.amd-drivers.com/download-RadeonHD8760-graphics-driver-for-Windows8-64bit.html
and now I am using this one: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download by detecting my OS and automatically install the best driver according to AMD, it has 'Mobility' on it's name.
The problem is, those drivers was succesfully installed the Radeon on Device Manager, but not in dxdiag. The dxdiag still shows that I am using the Intel HD Graphic instead the AMD Radeon 8670M. The catalyst control center won't let me see what GPU is used for power savings and high-performance mode. The dxdiag keep on showing the Intel HD Hraphic whether my notebook is plugged-in to power source or on battery, the Switchable Graphics just did not work as expected.
I already look for an answer in so many forums with similar problem, but the problem still persist.
I am sorry for my bad English, hope you guys can help me, thanks in advance.

Here install the driver from device manager (if you don't know how search it up,remember to check uninstall software driver too)

AMD Radeon HD 8670M Install Prblem

I got a problem with my AMD Radeon HD 8670M graphic card. As when I updated windows 8 to windows 8.1 my laptop started using his own graphic card (Intel HD Graphics 4000) wich decreased my framerate in games and that how I found out about it. After resarching the web and trying most of the things I don´t know what to do anymore. I tried many times to deinstall my driver, when i install it back again and i right click on desktop->AMD catalyst control center it says it cant start the program because there is no AMD driver software instaled or there is no AMD card there. I tried many drivers and nothing really worked. But when i check my Device-manager, there are 2 graphic cars listed, the Intel HD 4000 and the AMD 8670M.

AMD Radeon HD 6750 isn't showing on Windows Device Manager. Help pls?

Hi Guys,
I am a noob to this, hence appreciate some help here.
I have installed Windows 7-32bit using either Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion with hope to run some latest Windows games like BF3. Unfortunately, the Display Adapter in Device Manager isn't showing AMD Radeon HD 6750 (unlike many of you here in this forum) but Intel Graphics (WDDM). When the game launch, it draws on the Intel Graphics instead of the AMD Radeon's and make it unplayable. Please advise what I've done incorrectly and what should I do, thanks a lot!
Thanks and regards

If you want to play Windows-based games on your Mac, install Windows via Boot Camp rather than try to run your games in a virtual machine. When you do the latter, your Mac's hardware resources are divided between the two operating systems, and Windows doesn't have full access to or control over the hardware. That will make Windows games run poorly or not at all. When you boot into Windows, only Windows is running, and it can use all your Mac's hardware to run your games.

15-n067sr problems with AMD Radeon HD 8670M (windows 8.1 x64)

Hello,
below i'll explain the problem i'm experiencing.
I've decided to install Windows 8.1 x64 to this notebook model (15-n067sr). The problem is that ATI drivers which i download from HP support site doesn't allow me to install Display driver, it only installs OEM profile or something like that + Installer. No display driver, no CCC, not anything else. And it doesn't matter if i choose quick install or personalized. I've tried deleting all the ATI, Intel and chipset drivers and reinstalling them one by one. First chipset, then Intel and then ATI and still Installer won't let me setup any data which is needed for correct performance.
Anyway, i tried to install 14.9 Catalyst from AMD website, also tried beta drivers and actually they install correctly and i can switch between 2 video GPU's and everything seems fine EXCEPT ONE THING : the notebook won't come back from sleep mode , hybernation mode or when the display switches off. I've tried to manipulate with energy options , but still no result. With AMD display driver installed (from official website) the notebook never resumes correctly from these modes, i guess they just don't work at all, display just becomes black and nothing else happens.
Yes, i've updated my BIOS.
No, with these drivers from HP i can't switch between GPU's and only Intel GPU works actually, i've checked that in TechPower GPU-Z.
I guess i've tried everything possible, but if you can think of any other solution - please let me know, because i can either play games normally and use both GPU's but it's impossible to work with notebook, because sleep and hybernation modes doesn't work, either i can work without any problems, but my AMD GPU isn't avalible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Malakhov ,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you!
I grasp you are having a difficulty with the switchable graphics on your notebook. You have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and using updated drivers but to no success.
Here is a link to the recommended drivers for your system.

Download and save the Chipset, Intel and AMD drivers and save them on your desktop
Delete all three drivers
Install the Chipset driver
restart your notebook this is an important step
Now install the Intel driver and if prompted restart the notebook and finally install the last driver.

Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give. I'm at a loss at the moment. Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop. I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time). The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.
I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one. When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
But what if it doesn't. Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
Any suggestions? Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
Appreciate any assistance, guys.
Nervous in PA.

Hi,
I see two possibilities.
The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps. If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

Hello I am using HP laptop where my pc never uses Radeon HD 8670M graphics instead it uses HD graphics every time. I also tried to disable HD graphics then not any games works.please tell me how to switch my graphics from HD graphics to Radeon graphics!!!

Hi AndrewFMT,
I regret you are still having issues with installing driver.
Have you checked the HP Drivers & Downloads page for a bios update for your system? You will need to input your exact model ( see link in previous post) and follow the prompts. You will also find the recommended drivers for your system on this page.
If there is a bios update, follow these steps.
1.Install the bios update
2.uninstall and reinstall the Intel driver
3. restart your computer
4. now try to install the AMD driver.
If you are still unable to install the AMD driver, I suggest you do a recovery.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
During the recovery process, you have an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. If you have not done one yet, I suggest you do it now.
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)
Did your system come with Windows 8.1 or did you upgrade?
If you upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 here is a document to assist with that process.

Device Manager doesn't show AMD Radeon Graphics

My Pavilion dm4-3002sa has dual graphics, Intel[R] HD Graphics Family and AMD Radeon. Earlier this year AMD Radeon disapeared from the Device Manager and since than Laptop has only used Intel Graphics.
I have done clean install of an Operating System, Windows 7 (64bit), but the AMD Radeon doesn't show.
Does this mean that the card has failed, and if you have any suggestion, it would be appreciated.
On different, probably unconnected subject, the laptop is very hot at the top left corner. Would this have something to do with dust blocking the vents, and if so, does anyone have any suggestions?
With thanks.

Hello @draganmikki ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your AMD GPU is no longer showing up on your notebook.
Have you tried showing the hidden devices in Device Manager and checking the Other Devices section to see if a "Display Adapter" is listed? This could be the card missing drivers. I would suggest updating the chipset drivers, and then uninstalling the Intel GPU. Once uninstalled reinstall with the download from our website. After the Intel card is installed, run the 7470m installer.
You can find the drivers for your notebook here: HP Pavilion dm4-3002sa Notebook PC Drivers.
Regarding the heat, try this: Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating.
If the card is still not detected, you're most likely looking at a hardware issue. I would suggest calling HP Phone Support for service options if this is the case. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this helps!

Windows 7 can't recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card

Hey community -
I am having issues running Star Wars the Old Republic on my brand new iMac desktop with Windows 7 installed. I am getting an error message that is associated with the fact that WINDOWS 7 will NOT recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card. Under the displays/drivers it's showing up as standard VGA graphics, which won't cut it.
I was recently having an issue missing drivers for my network card, which I fixed by going back through bootcamp and using a startup disk with all the drivers I needed.
HOW do I get Windows 7 to pickup/detect my Radeon? Help!
-Monty

You can install the AMD HD RADION Mobile drivers which work from.
If your Graphics card number ends in M
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#2
This also depends on if you installed 32bit windows or 64 bit. you will need the 32bit drivers if installed 32 bit windows.
Download the full package under individual downloads.
But before you install the amd drivers you may need to install the boot camp drivers again, which include the motherboard drivers, sound, usb, etc etc etc.

Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

DV7-6c90us 2nd hard drive issues and AMD Radeon Issues

The Problem:
1)My AMD card has always been flakey and I've tried multiple times to uninstall it permanently and can't, it won't let me. I want to remove it completely since I'd rather have access to the extra hard drive than the graphics card.
2) when the card is working then my 2nd HDD won't work, but when the AMD card isn't working then my 2nd HDD works
What I'm Working with:
HP DV7-6c90us
Intel Core i7 2670qm chip
16GB of RAM (I added them, Kensington 1666MHz system underclocked to 1333MHz since that's what the i7 maxes out at)
Then whatever obscure AMD Radeon graphics card came with my system.
Windows 8 Pro
2nd HDD is a 1TB Segate Momentum drive, I pretty much took it from a Travel Drive and put it in my latop
Using the standard power brick that came with my laptop (120W) and battery is almost always at 50% or better)
The laptop is just over a year old (got it 06/08/2012 from HH Gregg)
What I've done:
Checked to make sure the 2nd HDD is installed correctly, it is and is plugged in to port two. It shows up in BIOS, but when you try to test it BIOS hangs. It's not corrupt since when it does decide to work, it works without any issues. It even works when I plug in my USB 3.0 adapter and use it as an external drive. That's not really an option since I am constantly transfering and managing that hard drive so it would be too much of an inconvenience.
I tried uninstalling AMD Radeon completely, but can't. I used a site that showed me what to delete from registry, Program File (x86), User App Data (Local and Roaming), and tried to uninstall it through "Programs and Features" under Control Panel (the Catalyst software). At every reboot it comes back like a virus. I don't need it, nor do I want it since the performance is so spotty and has always been, I do need the 2nd hard drive working again since i use it much more than I do AMD.

You will not like the answer but RAID is not possible on that machine. HP does have RAID function on some of the business models but the Pavilion is a consumer model and they have never had a RAID option on consumer models that I know about. Even if you could set up a RAID-0 array it would wipe out the data on the first drive and you would have to reinstall Windows from scratch and when you do a RAID-0 even on machines that permit it the two drives generally need to be identical, not just similar or the same size.
how is it then that some hp models ship with 2 HDD's but show up as one then eg there is a pavilion that is almost identical to mine sorry i don't know the model # but even more recent there are envy models that have this. or do they actually show as separate drives?

Imac with AMD Radeon 6770m chipset will not allow brightness adjustments in Bootcamp Windows 7

I've encountered a Video Issue with the new Imac 22" Cinema display units that have the integrated AMD Radeon 6770M chipset when booted to Bootcamp Windows 7 (no difference what version) Enterprise edition in my case. I am unable to adjust the brightness intensity that is currently locked at full brightness.
In the past the Apple keyboard would easily adjust the brightness or I could use the Bootcamp Control Panel and use a slider to change the brightness settings. The keyboard function keys (F1 and F2) pop up the brightness control options and shows the onscreen slider moving as I am changing the display setting but there is no actual brightness change. The Bootcamp Control Panel has actually removed the Brightness Tab as if to indicate this freature is not available. (Bootcamp version 3.2 and 3.3). I can Image this Win 7 copy to an 21" Wide Screen 2009 release of the Imac that has a Nvidia Chipset and the Bootcamp Control Panel now displays the Brightness Tab AND the Keyboard control option works perfectly.
Suggestions?
Pete

You're probably seeing bad performance because you don't have the latest graphics drivers installed. The ones provided by Apple's Windows support software are long out of date. Going to AMD's main website and navigating to the download section won't get you the correct files. This is a direct link to the proper driver.
