Should I get the new video driver amd?

I know it sounds like a stupid question but the last time I updated my graphic drivers, they gave me a huge problem. I have the amd radeon hd 7770 video card and they want me to update to 13.1. I read that 13.1 given users some bsod problems.

Can you do not backup your PC (full -, operating system and data) and then update? In this way, IF the new drivers do not give you a major problem and that you can not "restore point" back to the previous version, you can use the ultimate defense and recharge your backup.

Updated drivers can provide bug fixes or better performance in some games. Some people advise keeping up-to-date for a supposed better performance, others leave them such what, IF they cause you some problems. This choice is yours.

Personally, when new drivers come out, I wait until my next scheduled full backup and install them after that. Although, if things are well-oiled and the drivers do not seem to offer no benefit to me or my system (see the changelog when it exists), I'll let "such what" and proceed to a version.

I know what you mean though. A few years back on a previous PC, I had a * a time to update a set of drivers. Just no luck I think.

  • Portege Z830 - where can I get the new HARD drive

    Hello

    I have problem with my toshiba portege z830 ultrabook.
    My HARD drive died, and I don't know where I can get the new HARD drive.

    I've got guaranteed but I am forgotten registered my cell phone before when I went for repairs not authorized, because my first problem was with the motherboard.

    This motherboard has been replaced for new ones.
    If my warranty is maybe cancelled.

    Well, that's my problem to another.

    What should I do?
    Please help me. I am available to do anything.

    Hello

    I think that you should first check if your warranty is still valid.
    This can be checked on Toshiba Unitdetails page:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/

    Where the warranty is valid, get in touch with maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for replacement.

    But as far as I know the Portege Z830 was equipped with an mSATA SSD drive.
    This means that the laptop doesn't support HDD 2.5 common but requires special mSATA SSD drive module.

    In case your warranty is not valid, you will pay for a new mSATA module.
    Replacement should do a service provider authorized Toshiba as well because this replacement is a little tricky on this model of laptop.

  • HP 6310y can't get the new hard drive to load windows 7

    model 6310y - Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

    My desktop PC has stopped working.  I took it to the local computer store and they said it was the HD.  I bought the new hard drive and tried to install the retail of Windows 7 home premium 64-bit OS.  I got an error Code 0 x 80070002.

    I called HP support... told me that I needed their brand of recovery disks because the motherboard or BIOS would not allow me to install Windows 7 on new replacement HD disks without having their (HP).  So I ordered their... $17

    I bought another new HD and tried to install Windows 7 OS with HP recovery disks.  This time got the 0xe0ef000e error Code.

    I have to mention every time trying to install OS on new replacement HD... He got about 8 to 12 minute installation before receiving error messages.

    I called HP support... this time said that the retail version of Windows 7 OS must have worked and that I didn't need the HP recovery discs brand new replacement HD installation.   They offered me to pay $199 and send my office to fix inclusive it... all.

    Very confused.  I never had something like this before... I had several hard drives die over the years and have replaced the myself and installed all of the software including myself OS without any problem like this.

    Memory retrieves okay when using the diagnostic f9 key... She showed problems with HD during one of my many attempts of diagnostics

    Not sure if it's a bad mother or the video card integrated... do not know how to find either... since I can not the PC market

    It will start at Blue HP screen & most of the time allow me to enter in the screens f9, f10 or ESC.

    Don't know if its worth paying $200 to fix this or go and buy a new one for about the same price.

    any suggestion or help is appreciated

    Thank you

    I had to send it back to HP.  It is a bad motherboard.  They dropped the price a bit to replace the motherboard.  I don't remember how much they charged me.   I'm guessing around $200 - $300

  • can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop

    have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6

    At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports.  For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety.  Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP.  Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive.  Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.

    It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread.  Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS.  It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS.  This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.

    I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed.  Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003.  The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA.  What is the current version of BIOS?

    What is the exact message that you get when you try to install Windows Millennium Edition?

    Hi, I'm tossing up between the new iPod Touch and the iPad Mini 2. I intend the device mainly for playing games and going on social media. I also want to speedy. Thank you!

    Also, I currently have an iPod Touch 5 gen and his microphone does not work. I can not make voice memos, FaceTime, record sound in camera etc. If anyone has any ideas why it does not work, please let me know. I use iOS 9.3.2 and I tried to reset all the settings of the device.

    Problem with the microphone:

    -Make sure that the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It's the small hole at the back of the lens of the camera (the camera back). For the 16 GB one without rear camera the hole of the microphone is on the top edge near the Center.

    -Open the voice memos app and see if you see the movement on the needle of the meter GIVEN or changes in mobile graphic waveform with changes in the level of noise recording.

    I myself would get an iPad Mini because I find the screen of the iPod too show and difficult to use. But it really depends on your preferences. That mini iPad fits well is a pocket.

    When I perform the installation of the ATI support driver will not work correctly. Can someone tell me where I can find the best driver for this video card before I have Vista ultimate that I play in the race driver grid, everything is ok in weak options of course but normally plaing, then I install Vista Home premium and the game of options very low don't work normaly :(

    can someone help me?

    Hello

    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find a display driver for Win XP v8.479 and another for Vista v8.479.1.4

    If you are using Vista, then you must select the v8.479.1.4 driver.
    If you are using Win XP then it must select the v8.479 driver.

    You said that you were able to play this game using Vista Ultimate and driver of Toshiba page. So in my opinion, the driver seems to be OK and should work!

  • If I installed a program possible threat so should I get a new hard drive?

    my mother received a phone call from AMMYY, but before I knew, she had begun to install the programs, one of her friends is now saying that it must replace the hard drive, what then?

    The hard drive needs to be replaced.  However, the hard drive must be reformatted and reinstalled operating system because it is impossible to know what changes may have been made without the knowledge of your mother, the parameters of the computer.

    If the computer is used for financial transactions, such as banking services or online shopping, your mother must notify the competent financial institutions identity may have been compromised.  All passwords must be changed by using a known clean computer.  The new passwords should not be used of the affected computer until after it has been reformatted and reinstalled the operating system.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    From your description, it seems that, after you have installed the correct video driver for your ProBook (15.201.1301) AMD, Windows Update is then by installing a different driver on top of that, right version?

    If this is the case, you must follow these instructions to STOP Windows update update drivers: how stop Windows 10 to update automatically the device drivers - windows Windows 10-10

    Once you do this, you should not see updates to the pilot after that.

    Good luck

  • Satellite U500 - where to get a new HARD drive during the warranty?

    Hello world

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite U500 some months in London, and a few days ago my hard drive starts to give me a such difficulties that do not correctly read and given the weird sounds. And finally at boot up to yesterday, its giving me this message "Pri Master hard disk: extended S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 for cont...» »

    Now, I realized that I need a new HD and that one is not usable. What I was wondering, is it possible to keep in touch no matter what service provider Toshiba in order to get the new HD cos this machine is almost brand NEW.

    Can someone give me an advice what to please, it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Edward_4,

    I agree with you. You need a new HARD drive as soon as possible because it s not recommendable to record data on a failed HARD drive.

    In any case, it should t be a problem. You must contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Technicians can order a new HARD drive for you and Exchange. This should be free, because your laptop is under warranty so it s age of a few months.

    On the Toshiba site is a list of all s ASP. This seems to be your interlocutor ;)
