ATI radeon driver download problem.

-HP Media Center m7334n(2005)
So i got a new graphics card(ATI Radeon HD 4350). I got to the AMD website to try to download the driver. So i download the Catalyst install manager, i get to the screen where they want me to choose "Custom" or "Express" I choose "Express", then it just stops and it will eventually say "Not Responding" I tried this with "Custom" too.
I deleted all ATI related products from my computer.. and still a problem. I also ran the CC cleaner tool.

Hi,
Don't try to RUN the download.  Just do a save to your desktop.

  • ATI Radeon X1600 GPU problem

    I purchased a MacBook Pro with an ATI Radeon X1600 GPU in 2006. Several weeks ago the GPU failed and I was advised that a replacement logic board was needed and this would cost upwards of £500 by various Apple authorised repair centres that I contacted.
    The system is not worth £500 in working condition.
    It appears that I am not the only one that has found this issue, long after the warranty on the system had expired. In addition a number of people have began on online petition to raise awareness of the situation.
    Several months ago a more recent MacBook Pro (circa 2008) with an NVIDIA GPU failed and I was able to have the logic board replaced for free as this was a known fault, even though my system was out of warranty.
    I was very annoyed to find that the hardware defect in ATI GPU's has not resulted in the same replacement program. I therefore had to pay an engineer to attempt to fix the system through a component level repair, which failed. My 4 year old system that cost me a lot of money is now dead.
    I expected a lot more longevity from this system, and I am sorely disappointed. I am feeling a little ripped off.
    I am the current of owner of a iPhone 4 (2010), MacBook Pro 13" (2010), iMac (2010), iPhone 3G (2008), MacBook Pro 15" (2008) and one dead MacBook Pro 15" (2006).
    As you can see I have spent a lot of money on Apple products and accessories, My very first purchase has now died due to ATI GPU failure and I have already replaced a logic board on a 2008 system due to an NVIDIA GPU failure.
    I have never hesitated to recommend Apple products before, until now!
    I'd like Apple to acknowledge this issue and offer customers with the faulty hardware replacement logic boards, I'd expect Apple to recover this cost from ATI who manufactured the faulty hardware.
    I hope that this post serves to raise awareness of the issue and prompts an appropriate response.
    Thanks for reading.
    Dave.

    Your instructions basically work because you're deleting the ATI display drivers, so OS X defaults to no hardware acceleration. In the very long "display anomalies" thread to which you linked, this seems to be related as a pretty common solution.
    This is not a solution IMO. It's basically telling your computer not to use the built-in video card for much more than a frame buffer. Why is this a bad thing? Well, while it eliminates the anomalies and inevitable freezing, it also makes your computer unusable for anything requiring hardware acceleration (which is a lot of things these days, including 3d games and HD video playback, though the latter can still work albeit more slowly).
    You claim that the problem is due to bugs in the ATI driver, but there are two issues with that theory: 1. the problem also happens under Windows via Boot Camp, using several different versions of ATI's Catalyst drivers that support the R500 family (which the X1600 is a member of); and 2. these sorts of anomalies tend to be usually indicative of hardware failure. For example, the nvidia 8800 series famously had similar issues (more and more graphical anomalies followed by eventual lock-ups), which were ultimately caused by hardware failure relating from many heat cycles.
    In this case, the thing that seems closest to the truth to me came in a forum post over at the WoW forums (see the last post, by member "Flloyd"):
    Flloyd's post
    (Linking to the Google cache because the original seems to have been deleted.)
    Quoting the relevant part here:
    "There has been a lot of discussion an Apple forums and other forums about these issues with the Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) version 1.1 MBPs with the x1600 GPU. The general consensus is that it is definitely a hardware problem and someone mentioned that Apple knows internally that it is an issue with the solder connection between BGA packages and the main board. These machines came out right around when manufacturers were just starting to become ROHS compliant, (the standard that forbids the use of solder containing lead in electronics,) and so it is not surprising to me, (having dealt with some similar issues from the point of view of the manufacturer at work,) that these problems are happening. The lead-free solder is much more brittle than the old kind and solder joints that crack after many thermal cycles are a common problem that everyone trying to use the lead-free solder has had to confront. That being said, Apple still needs to fix this, because anyone who bought one of these would have had no expectation of this kind of failure and many would have bought something else if they knew this was a possibility."
    Thus, the little BGA solder balls become worse over time, and when heated enough (i.e. when the GPU load becomes great enough for long enough, which is when people usually report the problems to occur at first), may start to get a bad connection to the logic board, as a result of thermal expansion or lower conductivity or a combination of things.
    Now, I'm not 100% sure that this is the answer, but it seems most plausible to me. The other common explanation for this is that the thermal paste is applied unevenly on the GPU, or that the thermal paste gets old. However, while people report getting fewer anomalies after re-applying thermal paste, the problems usually stick around and once again start to get worse over time. My theory here is that while re-applying thermal paste helps with lowering GPU temps and lowering the frequency of the symptoms, it doesn't solve the underlying issue. You can get the same effect (lower GPU temps) by downloading and using the Fan Control preference pane or downloading and using the smcFanControl application to increase fan speed. Like re-applying thermal paste, this would decrease GPU temps (and thus incidence of graphical anomalies and eventual lock-ups), but not eliminate the problem.
    It's sad that Apple doesn't (and likely won't) acknowledge this problem as a hardware defect. As far as I know, the issue manifests itself only after several years of use, which is when warranty (even AppleCare) has run out. Those who are lucky enough to have had the Macbook under warranty when symptoms first appeared just had their logic boards replaced for free, and later reported the same problems appearing after a few years with the new logic boards (which predictably contained the same hardware flaw). As I've said before, I'm not 100% confident in this particular explanation, but I am 100% confident that it's a hardware issue.
    So nowadays, people generally have the choice of either buying a new laptop or forking over $300-600 for a new or used logic board to extend the life of the Macbook for a few more years, which would inevitably fail again. There is hope though: the aforementioned nvidia cards (the GeForce 8800 series) with the hardware flaw were eventually recalled and replaced for free, but a lot of people have reported resurrecting their dead cards using this unorthodox method:
    http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1421792
    http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1553073
    http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1470144
    The same method also worked for people with different failing cards (even built-in laptop GPUs, such as we are talking about here), and not just the GeForce 8800 series. I might try this out in a week or so and see if it works for me and report back. I just don't know if it's worth it -- this is my primary work laptop and I can't afford to have to mess around with getting a new one in the middle of the school year if it dies in the process. Not to mention the fact that while the problem certainly is annoying, since I have to save my work every few minutes in anticipation of the computer locking up, it's certainly not critical.

  • P4MAM2-V & ATi Radeon 9250 PCI problem.....

    I am installling ATi Radeon 9250 256Mb PCI video card onto the P4MAM2-V (MS-7095) motherboard.
    Somehow, the motherboard cannot detect the VGA card. At first I though the PCI slot problem. Try other cards into all PCI slots- soundcard, modem - all work fine. The video card was taken from my old PC and was working fine. I went into BIOS and change VGA preference from AGP to PCI. Still the motherboard don't detect the VGA card.

  • Premiere CS4 horrible stutter (ATI Radeon 5750 as problem?)

    Hello! I've just come across a very frustrating problem. When I try to edit videos with Premiere CS4, the preview speed is horribly laggy. It doesn't matter what I edit, HD or SD, it is just stuttering so that any work is merely impossible.
    The funny thing is, that I have been able to edit even very heavy HD-projects without problems in past with same system. I had 3-4 months pause from video editing, and something has happened in that time. I remember updating ATI drivers in that period so it might be the cause. Or not. Nothing major has changed, I've installed some regular OS updates and thats it. No hardware changes or anything like that.
    I have read about compatibility issues with Radeon 5750 and Premiere CS4 in Windows 7 (64bit). So I thought this would be proper area to start looking into. I would like to see if there is something new where to look at before I have to format my whole drive and install everything again. Which is pain because I have no other problems with my system.
    I've already tried ATI rollbacks, various driver versions and system restore. Nothing has helped. I also tried same drivers which I knew for sure that were installed and worked last time I succesfully edited something. No use. I've yet not tried installing Premiere again, and I would not happily do it because very buggy licensing system (I have licensed retail version) which can kill the whole CS product family. I rather format the whole OS drive.
    Is there any first hand knowledge on this, or any suggestions?

  • Studio 1558 ATI Radeon HD5470 hardware problem

    I have a Dell Studio 1558 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 graphics card on it. Yesterday, the computer crashed suddenly and started mentioning ATI driver crash, soon after which bluescreen errors followed - mentioning a failure of the atimkdag.sys file.
    Then, the display got discoloured, showing random dots, blue vertical lines and discolorations and gibberish characters here and there. I am not being able to load windows as it immediately ends up crashing with always the same bluescreen error.
    What bugs me is that, right from the point of start of booting (when the dell logo shows) and after which you can get the boot options etc, all the time, the screen is discolored and gibberish - even inside BIOS, and the basic diagnostics thing that Dell offers.
    It is not a LCD problem since I tried attaching a separate monitor using a VGA cable and the exact same problem is reflected on this external monitor also. Also, if I load  a Linux Live Cd, say ubuntu, then it loads and at least shows the desktop, but the discolorations are always there, so it isn't a software problem either - I had also tried restoring to factory settings and the problem is still there.
    I think my ATI card is damaged. In that case, is there any option to recover/repair - like disabling the ATI card and working using the onboard intel graphics chipset if any -  or do I have to replace the motherboard, since the ATI cards are as far as I know, soldered and fixed permanently to the motherboard ???
    Also, since the warranty period is over, if I need to replace the motherboard, can anyone help me estimate the expense for the replacement?? (I live in India)
    Please help!! Thanks in advance! 

    Well, correct me if I am wrong, but I think you must have used a "preview" version of the updated ATI driver.
    I did the same thing before trying games like NFS The Run, and Battlefield 3, because any game running on the FROSTBITE2 engine forces you to update the driver to a latest version. And then my ATI chip got damaged.
    Another fact: I even put a ATI HD 6450 on my desktop and needed to update the driver - did it to a 11.x preview version and it started the crashing-and-recovering scenario - luckily I got a v12.x version which was not a preview one, and the problem stopped. Btw, ATI HD 6450 is a really shitty card. I am never going to purchase another ATI ever again!!
    So the PREVIEW version of the ATI drivers are really CRAP!!!! It all starts with driver crashing-and-recovering and then one day, it damages the card.
    As for the other thing, I don't think the graphics driver has anything to do with the generation of the Core i CPU because basically, they ought to be kind of independent of each other (the CPU and the GPU that is) although I've heard that an ATI GPU tries to throttle itself using some CPU power, especially the PhysX part...)
    So basically, I must say that ATI GPUs are crappy and much less powerful than NVidia ones 'coz they bring their own GPU physics processors with are really necessary for high-graphics games.
    Your and mine laptop specs identical as far as you've mentioned. Also, I've seen TWO of my friends facing the same problem (damaged ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470) on a Dell Inspiron 14s. They had to go through motherboard replacement 'coz most of laptop GPUs (all of ATIs and some of NVIDIAs afaik) are soldered permanent on the motherboard. This suggests that the 5470 card itself is really bad.
    Dell should know this and do something!!!
    BTW, I still haven't gone through a motherboard replacement from Dell, well simply 'coz its really EXPENSIVE (agree with you on the common people terms). INR 16.5K for 1yr Breakfix! WTH!! I could save some more money and buy another laptop of a different brand that gives me same or even more performance than the present one :)

  • Driver download problem - Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476nw

  • How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

    Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update  to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
    The Background/history
    I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8.  I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit.  The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in.... 
    The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black....  in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
    The problem, re-emphasized :  I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files?  not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run...  Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver  without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
    This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
    Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
    ---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe"  - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
    ---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/  for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
    ---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

    hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something?  if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean?  it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
    Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this?  just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600?  (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
    So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
         1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
         2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70495#g5
    After the first reboot, the hardware was recognized, but the ATI driver was not properly loaded; but after the second reboots, the ATI driver was installed correctly.  Then, Alibre worked correctly. 
    It appears that the switchable graphics driver support is interfering with the proper operation of the underlying ATI driver.  I'm sad to lose switchable graphics support, but at least I can work!

  • ATI display driver fails to work with new kernel

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from
    OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64
    to most current
    OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.0.1.el5.x86_64
    and got the problem with ATI display driver. Whenever I perform kernel upgrade, I have to recompile vendor-provided ATI display driver downloadable from AMD/ATI site, because system ATI driver, provided by OEL/RHEL as kernel module, doesn't work properly (too slow). I did that hundred times and never had a problem. This time the problem is that after upgrading to new kernel and recompiling the existing ATI display driver (Revision 10.8), it doesn't work anymore, even though it worked perfectly with previous kernel. I cannot even start X11 (glibc problem reported with stack traces!!!). The newest ATI display driver (Revision 10.9) "works" with new kernel, but display is awfully slow making any serious work impossible. It is even slower than system-provided ATI driver.
    I am pretty sure the problem is in new kernel. As I have no backup of old kernel files and couldn't download the previous OEL kernel files from ULN, neither binary nor source (the files do not exist on ULN anymore, only the recent kernel files), I downloaded the previous kernel source from ftp.redhat.com, compiled the kernel and downgraded to it, recompiled ATI display driver, and everything works properly and fast as before upgrading. I can remember that ULN site used to have all kernel versions prior to actual one and cannot understand why Oracle dropped this practice. As I have an ULN account, I certainly want to have OEL patched kernel.
    My question is: does anybody know how and where I can download the previous OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64 binary rpm files or at least source rpm file?
    Maybe Sergio or Tommy can help?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have experienced the same with Ubuntu some years ago - specific feature (hack?) that was implemented in the kernel was deprecated. This was used by the display driver for an onboard Intel graphics chipset. Beryl (which was subsequently merged with Compiz) turned into a horribly slow experience. As far as I recall, a subsequent kernel patch "fixed" things as a number of users were affected, of which many complained very loudly.
    Anyway, I think the lesson here is that OEL is not really the correct distro to use for a desktop. A broken ATI driver for the OEL kernel? Does not really feature in the scheme of things for OEL support. Oracle Grid/RAC/Enterprise/Standard Edition do not care. Oracle's application servers (Apache, Weblogic, etc) do not care. Etc.
    Sure, GUI desktop access to an OEL server is needed (like when running dbca or an installer) - but that can easily and effectively be done using vncserver for example and running twm.
    You may be able to fix/work-around the problem with the current kernel update.. you may be able to roll back the update. But what about the next time when some other component does not work after a patch or an update? Surely it is a lot less stressful and frustrating to rather use a desktop distro, like Ubuntu, instead?

  • [SOLVED] Dell Studio 1555, arch64, touchpad + ATI Radeon HD, Catalyst.

    Hi everyone.

    I have Ati radein hd, and I am using catalyst 11 driver. I added: "IgnorePkg   = xf86-video-vesa xorg-server xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse" in order to use the old xorg so I can use the catalyst new driver, and it is working. Is this the reason form my touchpad?
    If you have some ideas, or you need more data, just ask.
    Thank you all,
    Regards.

    You need the older synaptics driver.
    xf86-input-synaptics-1.1.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
    After downgrading, you should add xf86-input-synaptics to the IgnorePkg line.

  • Equium A300D - Toshiba ATI display driver upgrade is not working

    Hi
    Has anybody else found the Equium A300D PSAK2E Windows Vista 32 bit Toshiba ATI display driver download will not work from the download centre? If you choose run, the download causes the windows explorer to crash during the install and the upgrade fails, the same with save and the install does not self install.
    I have been trying to get the TV out S-Video port working. See thread on TV out not working. I have tried everything. has anybody else got this problem as Toshiba are unaware of any problems with the S Video TV out not working on this machine.
    Thanks Vince

    Hi,
    The down load downloads ok but when you try and unzip it, then install it halfay through you get an error message stating windows explorer has stopped working and it has crashed. The Graphic card then will not work. I have tried uninstalling all the ATI software and deleting the left over files but it still wont install.
    I have downloaded the programme from the ATI site and this installed ok and the graphic card is working. The s video tv port still will not work.
    I have gone into great detail on the post regarding the TV out not working about what i have done. When the s video lead is connected the computer can see the tv but will not output, when you try and enable the display the display will not enable. I have used the FN f5 key with no success, changed settings on the avi controller and display settings in the control panel
    I will take the machine back to where i bought it from next week and see if they can get it to work!

  • Problem Driver Ati Radeon HD 6490M

    After installing Windows 8 on my Hp Pavillon dv7 6090el, I have downloaded and reistallend the drivers of my Radeon HD 6490. The problem is that the Catalyst Installer recognize my card like the Ati Radeon 7400M, then it says it's impossible to   install the drivers. The card now it's not working! Also if I enter in the management device it says there the card ATI Raddeon 7400M with a problem and not working. But that's not the card was installed on my notebbok.

    Hello
    HP don't post update by this product to Windows 8.
    You can Install this program:  http://www.ma-config.com/
     This program verify the correct driver and the latest update from your board and is available driver from windows 8.
