I'm really unsure of how the two adapters interact - I assume that there is some combination of drivers or software that makes the two work together properly - it just seems that the version supplied by Dell should work in theory but is causing the major issue of restarting. When I installed Windows 7 (replaced Windows 8 which came installed), I downloaded all the dell drivers from the website for my service tag and installed them in the order suggested ( ). Hardware acceleration is disabled by windows (ie when I load up a windows game like solitaire, I receive a message telling me so) With a few exceptions, the drivers for the HD 7000 series are all the same, you dont have to care about not knowing the specific model name when downloading the driver for that series. processor redefines the best 635 GPUs. AMD just launched the Radeon HD 7800 series graphics cards, consisting of two models, the Radeon HD 7870, and the Radeon HD 7850, targeting crucial price-points that appeal PC gamers. When I do this, the display adapter appears more generic, is shows something like "AMD Radeon 7500/7600" and the version # is 12.xxĭespite installing Catalyst Control Center and this new driver, it doesn't appear to work - hardware acceleration is disabled, though it does not have the restarting issue with this version.Ĭurrently, windows is treating it as a generic resource, driver version. The AMD Radeon HD 7800 series is designed to perform for serious gamers, said Chance Lyon, Zombie Studios. I put in the video card details on the AMD website and was prompted to download and install: 13-4_mobility_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql I can confirm that it is something to do with this, as when I remove the drivers and uninstall it, the issue stops (and same, in safe mode there is no restarting as it doesn't load the driver)
#Driver amd radeon hd 7800 series install#
When I install this version, the display adapter in the Device manager appears to be ok, however this is when the system starts to restart unexpectedly, usually about 2-3 minutes after I log in to windows. This installs the driver version 8.951.9.0 and the display adapter shows as "AMD Radeon HD 7570m" in the device manager. I have downloaded and installed the video driver package from Dell System: Inspiron 5423 (brand new machine)
