Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

I am currently in the process of installing the latest AMD Video Drivers for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition. I previously had three ATI Radeon HD2600XT Graphics cards (in CrossFire) installed in a 2008 Apple Mac Pro.
I've run into several problems with trying to remove the Radeon HD2600XT graphics cards and install the latest drivers (for the Radeon R9 290 graphics card) in Windows 8.1 (64-bit), so I am creating this to be used as tutorial for others experiencing similar problems.
1) First I created a new/clean system restore point in Windows 8.1 prior to starting this.
      Instructions can be found here: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-create-restore-point-in-windows-8-1/
2) Second, I manually tried removing/uninstalling the AMD Software from add/remove programs in Windows 8.1 (Control Panel)
      In Computer Control Panel, select "uninstall a program"
      Select AMD Install Manager (and any Catalyst Software) and remove/uninstall the software (choose "express uninstall all AMD software").
      Be sure to uninstall the AMD Install Manager.
3) In my system, the hardware drivers for the three Radeon XT2600 graphics cards were not properly removed, and the drivers for the Radeon R9 290 were not properly installed.
4) I tried running the AMD Driver Autodetect Tool
      It stated "We were unable to find your product or OS" (and failed to download or install any drivers)
      AMD Driver Autodetect displayed the following information:
Graphics hardware: 0x1002 - 0x9588 PCIE
Operating system: Windows 8.1 64-bit
5) Since the latest software/drivers were not found with the AMD Driver Autodetect, I decided to manually download the latest Graphics card drivers from the AMD website for my graphics card and for my operating system (Windows 8.1 64-bit). I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD" and downloaded the latest AMD Graphics card drivers (Catalyst Software Suite 14.9) to that folder and unzipped the AMD drivers installation file. I unzipped the file which included the following drivers/files:
      Catalyst Software Suite 14.9 includes the following files:
            AMD Display Driver ver. 14.301.1001
                          OpenCL(tm) Driver
                          Catalyst Control Center
                          HydraVision
6) I downloaded and unzipped DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
    I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and unzipped the DDU installation files to that folder
7) I ran DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
      It displayed the following information:
DDU Version:13.5.1.3
GPU # 0000 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
INF : oem55.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
GPU # 0001 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
INF : oem55.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
GPU # 0002 Detected : AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_67b1
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 13.251.9001.1001
INF : oem63.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_Hawaii
5) Based on the output above, it seems that some extremely old drivers are currently installed (v13.251.9001.1001), and I need to remove the old drivers for the hardware above, and try to install the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
6) I rebooted the computer into Windows 8.1 "Safe Mode".
    Instructions can be found here: http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81
7) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and ran DDU v13.5.1.3 and selected "Clean and restart" (in DDU 13.5.1.3) to remove ALL of the existing AMD drivers and to restart/reboot the computer.
- After removing the current display drivers (in safe mode) with DDU v13.5.1.3 and after the system rebooted, I then tried to perform a "clean install" of the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
8) Now perform a "Clean Install" of the new AMD graphics drivers. Steps for performing a "clean install" (from AMD's website) are listed below:
To perform a 'clean install' of AMD graphics drivers:
You should make a system restore point before attempting, just in case
1. IMPORTANT: All Windows Updates should be current, including the 'optional/suggested' updates
2. IMPORTANT: Disable all anti-virus/ad blockers/anti-malware/ anti-anything before trying to install
3. IMPORTANT: Netframework is required and must be the latest version. (from Windows Update)
Download the drivers for your computer to the desktop. Follow steps 1-5 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ).
Do not use 'auto-detect and install (it might not detect your graphics card or best drivers).
Delete existing drivers from your computer:
In computer control panel select 'uninstall a program'
For computers with Intel processors:
Select AMD install manager and choose 'express uninstall all AMD software'
Including the install manager.
For computers with AMD processors:
Select AMD install manager and 'custom uninstall' the graphics drivers and CCC only.
Reboot into 'safe mode'
In safe mode run Guru 3D's DDU
Reboot
Install the new driver suite.
9) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-14-9-win7-win8.1-64Bit-dd-ccc-whql" and ran setup.exe (Catalyst Install Manager)
     I selected "Express Install" as the default installation (highly recommended).
10) Rebooted the system after the Catalyst software and video driver installation.

In the end, I found out that the latest/newest Radeon drivers do not support the older Apple Radeon 2600XT graphics cards, so I was forced to remove the older Radeon 2600XT graphics cards from the system (so the newest/latest Radeon Catalyst Drivers would work). I was then able to boot directly into Windows 8.1 Pro, and the AMD Catalyst software and AMD Catalyst Drivers worked perfectly with the R9 290 graphics card (in Windows 8.1 Pro).
The only problem is that the AMD R9 290 is not supported in OS X, and now I can't boot directly into OS X because the Apple OS X graphics card drivers are missing and don't exist. Apple hasn't added AMD R9 290 graphics card support to the latest version of Apple OS X 10.10 Yosemite (or 10.9).
I posted a thread here about needing the AMD R9 290 graphics display drivers, but Apple still hasn't added the latest AMD Radeon R9 290 graphics card drivers support to the latest Apple Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite operating system.
Another big Apple fail!
So now we have a wonderful new high-end AMD R9 290 graphics card and all we can do is use our Apple Mac Pro computers as Windows 8.1 Pro computers, because Apple has not updated their Apple OS X operating system to support the newest/latest AMD R9 290 graphics cards. (So we're stuck with using our Apple Mac Pro as a Windows 8.1 Pro computer) because Apple refuses to add the newest/latest hardware drivers to their latest Apple OS X operating system. Anytime you purchase an Apple computer you are stuck using really old hardware because Apple fails to update their operating system with the newest/latest hardware drivers for the latest AMD R9 290 graphics card hardware.
The only way to use the latest/newest hardware is with a Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro computer. Hopefully Apple will get this fixed immediately, but it's already been close to a year now and Apple still hasn't fixed the problem.
We tried to contact Sapphire, and AMD, but both of them have said that it's a problem with Apple's Mac OS X operating system, and that only Apple can fix the problem and add the proper hardware drivers to their operating system.

Graphics Card Does Not Show Up In Device Manager (Re: Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to "fix" issues of a new graphics card not appearing in Windows 8.1 Pro, or not appearing (as a device) in Device Manager, or it's not being detected by Windows 8.1.
This is the "second part" of a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
GRAPHICS CARD IS NOT DETECTED AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN WINDOWS 8.1 DEVICE MANAGER
This problem can appear if the video card is not installed properly in the PCI slot and as a result the card is not detected in device manager. Check the physical connections again, reinsert the card properly in the PCI slot, check the connections (including the power cables going to the video card, and ensure that the fan on the graphics card is spinning and the card does have power and is properly seated/inserted) and then install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
Method 1:
First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2:
Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
Press the Windows key + X
Select Command Prompt (Admin)
Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
Method 3:
If methods suggested above does not help, I would recommend you to contact Apple/AMD/NVIDIA to get the latest chipset, BIOS, graphics card drivers installed properly.

Can I install AMD Graphics Drivers In Windows 32-Bit Operating System...

Please Help Me And Advised me ..
How TO install Amd Graphis Drivers In 32-Bitt Windows 8 System???

Hi:
See if this works. If it doesn't then you will need to install the supported operating system (W8.1 64 bit).
Download and run the W8.1 graphics driver from your model's support page...Close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-135683-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters category. Click on the Standard VGA Adapter. Click on the Driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software method and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp67327. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way. Then reboot.

Amd video drivers not working after win 10 upgrade

AMD video drivers not working after win 10 install. running on microsoft basic driver, call hp smartfriend assistance. appearently there is a fix but hp will not help unless i pay 100.00$ US because the warranty has expired on my notebook.Have a pavilion dv7 was running AMD Mobility Radeon HD5000 series. Thank you hp will not be purchasing an hp product again. Alienware here i come.

Not much we can do since your model is not supported by Toshiba for Win 10 upgrade according to THIS list so there is no Win 10 driver for your TouchPad. That button, however, is not the only way to disable/enable the TouchPad. FN+F9 does it and you can fix it where, when you plug in an external mouse, it will automatically be disabled.

G50-45 Can't Install AMD Graphic Drivers

Hello,
I just bought this laptop and I downloaded the updated drivers from Lenovo site, but I can't install AMD graphic drivers.
The screen went black during installation and stayed black for almost 40 minutes (then I rebooted the laptop).
So I tried to download AMD drivers through their Autodetect software, and during the installation the screen showed weird colors, mostly green but in a "old fashioned 8 bit way" we can say.
What should I do?
Also, I can't use the dedicated graphic card (Radeon HD 8500M): the laptop keep using the integrated card, which makes every game running slowly. I already tried to set which card an application must use through Catalyst Control Panel, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for the replies.

I used one from lenovo page and they work.
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-45-noteboo...
And with this utility you can check which graphics card is laptop using

How to install latest video drivers on Bootcamp?

Currently running bootcamp on Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp 4.0. The video driver that I need is the latest driver for the Nvidia 9600M GT. My software updates (Apple) on Windows 7 state that I have available updates. It's not possible with this graphics card to install the latest driver through Nvidia's website the easy way due to it stating I need to contact my manufacturer. This is a dangerous loop, and I know my driver is old for my GPU because my driver says it's from 1/19/2011. In addition to that, the games that I play on Windows 7 also state that my drivers are out of date.
Thanks!
Zach

Have posted this over and over again. TAKE A LOOK.
You have to install Apple chipset to enable the device. Can't see it. Nviidia won't auto detect a Mac ever, unless you have a PCIe card you install of course and easy to swap out (Mac Pro tower).
After you install Apple BC drivers, guess what? uninstall the nvidia device driver adn program and use Driver Sweeper 3.2 to deep clean, and may as well run CCleaner 3.x as well (Registry tool also).
Same for audio but that goes a lot easier (Realtek or Cirrus drivers).

[Solved]Installed AMD Catalyst drivers. Are they activated?

This must be a really stupid question.
I have installed the Catalyst drivers from the repo, but in KinfoCenter I'm getting something else:
It's not a VMware installation, it's alongside Windows.
So, am I using the Catalyst drivers or not?
Thanks.

Can't Install ATI Video Drivers on Bootcamp with Windows 7 64-bit

I've just installed Windows 7 64-bit under Bootcamp but can't seem to get any ATI Graphics drivers to install. I ran into the common blank-screen problem during installation and temporarily solved that by deleting atikmdag.sys from within Lion. At the moment W7 runs with 640x800 resolution (pretty chunky on a 27" screen!). The ATI Catalyst software just doesn't run at all (i.e click on it and nothing happens). I've used DriverSweeper to force remove all drivers and start again but every time I reboot, Windows automatically reinstalls the default driver that seems to be causing the problem in the first place!
For reference, here are iMac specs:
iMac 27" w/ OS X Lion 10.7.2
2.8Ghz Intel Core i7
4GB 1067Mhz DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
Any ideas?
Thanks

Amd video drivers update 13.9

Can any1 help me? after install BF4 on my imac 2011(mid), i need to update 13.8 video driver to 13.9. How can i do dat?

Hey Buddy.
I was having the same dramas over 10 hours spent on it. Worked for a little bit last night on release (Luck and didnt quit till level 10) but tried again today and the warning, before it goes to game, came back up and said it recommends 13.9 and detected 13.4. Couldnt believe my eyes.
. All the drivers I downloaded from amd worked but it never said 13.9. Used driver sweeper and other programs to clean registry old files before each install also. Tried over 10 different driver downloads in cluding 64bit windows 8, legacy and a heap more some legit drivers for my sys wouldn't even get past the install without error failing
. I could presss continue without 13.9 but 9 times out of 10 I would load all the way to game deployment secreen but I could not Deploy on anything, not even my options I could access. The only way to get out was task manager. RAGe!
I have a mid 2011 imac with bootcamp widows 8 only for BF. it has 512mb graghics but still can play the game on low 1080. Just waiting for next gen then build a proper gaming pc in the future.
anyway you can update your drivers at amd but even though it is 13.9 on the download when you run the game it will say 13.4 or 12.8 or 13.1. so over it.
Well today read into 13.9 catylyst a bit and it had alot to do with windows 8.....1. So I updated through the store and went to 8.1. Loaded the game and **** YEAH no driver message. Played for about an hour then battlog went for mantenance. Joined a heap of differnt servers logged out and in many times and never heard that dreaded ding again. Good luck with it. Hope this helped a litlle

V570 video drivers don't work with Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Yesterday I bought a V570 notebook, with an addition Windows 7 Home Premium 64 BIT OEM, since the operating system on it was Free Dos.
I've installed Windows and started to install the drivers from the disk that came with notebook. After I've installed the Intel VGA driver, on boot I got a bluescreen, then the notebook just started to restart. I couldn't get a restore so I had to reinstall windows again. After that I've tryed to use the drivers from the lenovo page, from windows update, all the same result.
So I've downloaded an illegal copy of windows 7 ultimate, just to test it out, and guess what, IT WORKES PERFECTLY FINE! Now I can't and won't use that windows, this is why I paid for an original one, so please someone tell me what can I do to make it work! I was up until 4:15 AM and coulnd't find an answer. There is a national holliday today in Romania, so the guys from the call center are not working today.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finnaly resolved it. If anyone else has this issue, here is what you do:
1. install all drivers from the CD, except the ones related to the graphics card
2. install all Windows Updates, except the ones related to the graphics card. You will have to reboot a couple of times, and keep installing until the only updates that remain are related to the graphics card.
3. install the video drivers from the CD
4. ENJOY
