AMD graphics driver problem on laptop. No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the amd driver is not function - Solution. Where to download software
Hello dear readers!
I installed a new OS yesterday. As always, I proceeded to install the necessary software. And the problem crept into the issue of installing software for the video card. For a long time I could not find it, and when I did come across for it, it generally turned out to be under a different version of the OS. So I decided to write an article today on how to find and install the amd graphics driver for windows 10.
Why do I need a driver?
Laptops, netbooks, stationary computers, and almost any gadget with an operating system have a certain set of drivers. They help the OS determine what a device is for. For example, a lenovo laptop has a separate sound card. If there is no firewood on it, then you will not hear the music in the speakers. The same is with vidyuha, if there is no specific software on it for your operating system.
This is especially true of modern games, which are very demanding on computers in terms of graphics.
The monitor itself will work, but the game will not start, it simply will not detect the device, therefore, it will not be able to adjust the resolution and shaders. It doesn't matter what kind of system you have 32 bit or 64 bit, even if you have an operating system on the UNIX core, you will still need drivers.
Where to download software?
Having an entrance to the global network, you can always download the necessary programs for free. You need to download drivers from the websites of your device manufacturers. For example, if you have a vidyuha from AMD, then that way... Click on the tab shown in the picture below.
Then you will have two tablets.
The left one will allow you to download a software that will automatically detect your card in the computer and select a driver for it. It happens that this option does not work. For example, AMD stopped supporting certain devices of its production, therefore, they also removed firewood from their server. If the program does not work, or simply did not cope, then you will have to drive all the data of your video card manually into the right plate. Searching manually will take some time, but the result will be much better.
The same goes for other manufacturers as well. For example, HP official website... You need to click on the support button.
And then click here.
Alternative ways to find software
You may have a problem finding firewood at the official sites of manufacturers. Therefore, I will recommend you several programs that will help you solve the problem. The booster driver is a striking representative of such software. You can download from here... Softinka has a nice interface, it is easy to understand how to manage it. There is a Russian language.
Best of all, it's free.
Just download it, install it, then scan your laptop. Then it will show itself what programs your machine needs, including useful utilities. The booster driver does not work without the Internet.
The Pak Solution driver will work too. Latest version lies here... It can work both online and offline. Moreover, it has one useful feature. You can download a huge archive for this program, and then, you no longer have to look for drivers for any PC. You don't even need internet.
When I tried it out on my car, I was struck by a trick with additional software. That is, in addition to firewood, you will be prompted to install instant messengers, browsers, graphic libraries, antiviruses and even registry cleaning software.
Installation process
And so, especially for you, I will describe the complete installation process for cards from AMD Radeon, come here... Pay attention to this information.
You should find your card in the list. If not, see the versions below. Download the software and just run it. The software interface will open, if you have a Russian version, then it will be easier for you ...
Just check the boxes and hit Aply. The installer will do everything himself, at the end of all operations your machine will be rebooted. A new icon will appear in the tray (Catalyst Control Center), through which you will now adjust the graphics, work with your video card.
If an error occurs during the installation process, then most likely the installer version does not fit your machine. Download distributions of an earlier release. This happens due to the introduction of new operating systems. It's just that incompatible drivers lead to a conflict.
Manual search
You can not download firewood on the official website, but try to find entire assemblies specifically for your laptop model. Just download it via torrent.
Note that assemblies contain not only drivers, but also the most necessary programs. Plus, they are all user-tested.
If you find such a build, consider yourself very lucky. Do not forget to read the comments in the distributions, there you can find valuable information, for example, about broken files and so on.
Often such archives are packed into disk images with an ISO extension. To open them you need a small program that you can download here... Just install it, and then it will scan your hard drive itself for the necessary files. Now you can open any disk images.

I assure you friends, the automatic driver search program is also available on the amd.com/ru website.
If you have an ATi Radeon video card, then finding and installing a driver on the official AMD website is even easier than on the NVIDIA website. In this article, we will install the ATI video card driver automatically and manually.
Or try to install the driver automatically using the tools of the operating system itself or a special program, details in our article ""
To thoroughly understand this issue, here's what I suggest you. A friend of mine asked me to install drivers on his laptop, and so, he also has a video card, like our reader, ATi Radeon. Let's walk with me through all the stages of automatic driver installation on an ATi Radeon video card. Let's also consider the question, how to install ATI graphics driver in manual mode. Also, we will sort out the errors that you may encounter during the driver installation process.
We go to the official website http://www.amd.com/ru. Without clicking, move the mouse over Drivers and support 
Then, if you want, you can select and download your driver manually on the left side of the window, for example, you have a laptop, which means we select Notebook Graphics Desktop Graphics, then the series, product model and operating system, but you can make everything much easier, namely, select the driver automatically, select the item Automatically Detect and Install and Download now 
We save the driver installer in the folder we need.
The installer has loaded, run it.
There is an automatic detection of our video card and the driver we need. Download .
In this place you may get errors, for example, this one " Could not download file: Could not parse error". The question is solved very simply. Disable antivirus while installing the ATI driver.
The previous window disappears and the installation of the ATi Radeon video card driver into our operating system begins.
Click Install.
The initial window for installing the ATI driver. Further .
Set.
I advise you to choose Quick Install.
We accept the user agreement.
The driver and related services are being installed.
That's all.
If one of the readers wants install ATI graphics card driver manually then it is a little more complicated and you should know the series and model of your video card. , you can find out in this article.
On the official AMD website, just without clicking, we hover the mouse over Support and drivers and select the driver we need from the drop-down menu. If we need a driver for a laptop, choose Notebook Graphics if you have a simple computer choose Desktop Graphics, then the series, product model and operating system, then press the DISPLAY RESULTS button (view the result).
First of all, we are offered to download the AMD Mobility Radeon ™ Driver Verification Tool, which will give the result of compatibility between the driver we are downloading and our operating system, if the check is successful, then click Download just below and download your driver, then install.
Friends, if you have the latest operating system Windows 8.1 installed on your laptop, then it is quite possible that drivers will not be found on this site due to the peculiarities of switchable graphics and the search result will be like this. That is, you are offered to go to the official website of your laptop and download drivers there, which is also quite simple.
On laptops with switchable graphics, many users have problems installing drivers after reinstalling the operating system.
The most common combination of Intel + ATI switchable graphics is found on laptops. That is, an integrated video card from Intel and a discrete one from ATi Radeon. First, you need to know that the Windows XP operating system does not support switching video cards.
If, after reinstalling the operating system, you do not install the drivers on the ATi Radeon video card, then you are installing the drivers in the wrong order. First of all, you need to install the driver on the motherboard chipset, take it on the official website of your laptop (all the drivers are there), then install the driver for the Intel graphics card, take the driver there and only lastly install the driver on the discrete ATi Radeon card.

Situations with the impossibility of installing a driver on a video card are very common. Such problems always require an immediate solution, because without a driver, instead of a video card, we just have a few very expensive hardware.
There are many reasons why the software refuses to install. Let's analyze the main ones.
NVIDIA
Green software, for all its ease of use (“install and use”), can be quite sensitive to various system factors, such as bugs, software conflicts, incorrect installation or uninstallation of previous editions or additional software.
AMD
The main problem when installing drivers from "red" is the presence of old software. It is for this reason that AMD software may refuse to be installed on the system. The solution is simple: before installing the new software, you need to completely remove the old one. The easiest way to do this is with the official AMD Clean Uninstall program.
Please note that this action will completely remove AMD components from the system, that is, not only the display program, but other software as well. If you are using a platform from Intel, then the method suits you. If your system is based on AMD, then it is better to use another program called Display Driver Uninstaller. You can read how to use this software in.
Intel
Problems with installing drivers on integrated graphics from Intel are quite rare and are mostly complex in nature, that is, they are the result of incorrect installation of other software, in particular, for the chipset. This is most common during software updates on laptops, which we will discuss below.
Laptops
In this section, we will talk about the procedure for installing drivers on a laptop, since this is where the "root of evil" lies. The main mistake in solving problems with the software of the laptops is "sorting out", that is, attempts to install different software, if "it did not work." Such advice can be obtained on some forums: “did you put this one?”, “Try this one again”. The result of such actions in most cases is a loss of time and a blue screen of death.
Let's look at a special case with a Lenovo laptop, which has an AMD graphics card and an integrated Intel graphics core.
As mentioned above, it is necessary to follow the sequence of software installation.
- First of all, we install the driver for the motherboard chipset (chipset).
- Then we install the Intel integrated graphics software.
- The last driver to install is the discrete graphics card driver.
So let's get started.
- Go to the official Lenovo website, find the link "Drivers" on the menu "Support and Warranty".
- On the next page, enter the model of our laptop and click ENTER.
- Next, you need to follow the link "Drivers and Software".
- Scroll down the page and find the block with the name "Chipset"... Open the list and find the driver for our operating system.
- Click on the eye icon opposite the software name, and then click on the link "Download".
- In the same way, we download the software for the integrated Intel video core. It is located in the block "Display and video cards".
- Now we install in turn the driver for the chipset, and then for the integrated graphics core. After each installation, a reboot is mandatory.
- The final step is to install the software for the discrete graphics card. Here you can already use the software downloaded manually from the official AMD or NVIDIA website.
Windows 10
The desire of Microsoft developers to automate everything and everyone often leads to some inconvenience. For example, the top ten provides for updating video card drivers through the standard Windows update center. Attempts to install the software manually can lead to errors, up to the inability to install. Since a driver is a set of system files, the OS thus "protects" us from software that is wrong from its point of view.
There is only one way out: manually check for updates and install the driver.
As you can see, there is nothing wrong with installing drivers, the main thing is to follow simple rules and systematize actions.
For normal operation of a video card, a special utility is required - a driver. Through it, the operating system transmits and receives signals from the device, ensuring stable graphics processing. The error "AMD graphics driver is not installed or is not functioning correctly" leads to errors in displaying the image on the screen - the picture will freeze and crumble. To eliminate it, it is enough to correctly install the required utility.
If an AMD graphics driver error occurs, please completely uninstall it from the system before reinstalling. If your computer has 2 video cards installed at once - integrated and discrete, reset the drivers for both of them. To correctly remove system utilities, proceed as follows:
- Boot your computer in Safe Mode - to do this, at the beginning of the boot, press F8 or another key corresponding to the choice of startup options in your PC. In the list that appears, click on "Safe Mode", in English versions -.
- Hold Win + X and launch the "Device Manager".
- Go to the "Video adapters" category.
- Click on the name of the video card with the right button, open its properties.
- Go to the "Driver" tab and select "Uninstall".
It is better to uninstall in safe mode - only basic OS functions are launched in it. This allows you to manipulate the drivers without any problems, without fear of disrupting the system.
After the reset, reboot as usual. After starting Windows, it will start searching for the necessary utilities instead of the ones removed in automatic mode. But the system is not always able to select the correct software version, so it is better to carry out the installation yourself by downloading the necessary files from the manufacturer's website.
Install using an automatic utility
A special automatic detection utility from AMD will help you choose the right driver for your video adapter. You can get it on the official resource for free. Follow the link and click "Download". After launching the utility, it will determine its model and OS version. If there is an update for the device, it will be downloaded and installed immediately.
The automatic utility has a number of limitations. It only works under Windows OS and recognizes AMD Radeon class video adapters. For other models, use the manual driver selection on the manufacturer's website.
Installation with manual selection
Manual selection allows you to download the desired file faster, bypassing the download of an intermediate utility. How to find out which driver you need for your video card: on the manufacturer's resource, fill out a special form in 4 steps. The values are given in English, but you can set them without knowing the language:
- Set the type of your device. For the PC - Desktop Graphics, for the integrated on the motherboard - Integrated Motherboard.
- Product series.
- Specific model.
- OS version with indication of bitness.
- Run the download to install the AMD driver.
If you do not know the exact model of the hardware or Windows, first look at them on your computer. The version of the video adapter is visible in the "Task Manager" - if it is not displayed in the general list, open the detailed properties of the model by right-clicking on it. The fastest way to look at the OS version is in the properties of "My Computer", and pay attention to the "System Type" field - it contains the bit value that is required at the last step before downloading the file.
If your computer has two different video cards, download 2 drivers. If you have an integrated video, first install the files for it, then disable the integrated graphics and update the discrete video adapter.
Conclusion
We have figured out how to fix the error with AMD graphics drivers. Delete old files and load new ones using the automatic utility or manual selection on the site. The manufacturer's resource is the best source for the right updates. Unlike universal programs, branded sources provide drivers that exactly correspond to the hardware model.
In contact with
Whatever technical characteristics and power the video card installed in a PC or laptop possesses, its operability and the demonstrated performance indicators directly depend on one of the most important software components of any system -. For graphics adapters manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices Inc, the most correct and effective method to resolve all driver issues is to use.
Download and update AMD drivers via Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition
Actually, it is precisely the maintenance of the video adapter drivers that is the primary task assigned to the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition by the developers.
Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition- the name of the software that replaced Radeon Software Crimson... This is the same application, but from a different generation. The Crimson driver is no longer relevant!
Automatic installation
The easiest and most correct way to get a fresh driver for an AMD video card is to install the manufacturer's proprietary software on the system. AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition contains the necessary components of the latest version at the time of downloading from the official website, so in order for the current graphics adapter driver to be installed, it is enough to follow a few simple steps.
- Download the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition installer from the Advanced Micro Devices technical support site by selecting the type and model line of the graphics processor on the basis of which the video card is built from the drop-down lists.
Find your version and bitness of the operating system and expand the tab to the plus sign.
In the list of suggested software, find Radeon Software click "Download"... In some cases, there are 2 such files - start from the revision number of the application and the release date. A newer driver may be unstable on some PCs, for this reason, the service offers a previous version that you can roll back to if problems arise.
- We launch the installer. Immediately, the system will automatically scan the hardware components for the presence of an AMD GPU-based graphics card.
- After determining the video card, in the absence of components necessary for normal operation
or the possibility of updating them, a corresponding message will be displayed.
- Push the button "Express installation" and observe the installation process of all the necessary components.
- The final stage of installing AMD Radeon Adrenalin Edition, which means all the necessary components for the graphics adapter to work, is a system reboot. Push the button Restart Now.
- After rebooting, we get a video card with the latest driver installed.
During the installation of Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, the screen may black out several times. Don't worry - this is how the graphics adapter is initialized with the new driver.
Updating Drivers
Over time, any software becomes obsolete and requires updating. With AMD Radeon Software Crimson, updating the system components necessary for the proper functioning of your graphics adapter is very easy, because the developers have provided all the possibilities.
Reinstalling the AMD driver, "rolling back" the version
If it becomes necessary to reinstall the AMD graphics card drivers, removing all previously installed components and clearing the system of data accumulated during the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition operation, you will need an application installer. In addition, by following the steps below, you can revert to the previous version of the driver if the updated one does not work correctly. There is no need to remove the already installed software and driver before reinstalling! The installer will do this automatically.
Thus, we can state that all issues with the drivers of modern AMD video cards are quite easily solved using the manufacturer's proprietary software. The installation, update and reinstallation of Advanced Micro Devices graphics drivers is almost completely automated, so you don't have to waste time and effort looking for the right solution.
