Need HP laptop AMD Radeon HD 8550D disp driver/Win7  

Could use a hand finding this Display Driver for 8>7 Upgrade I'm doing via Teamviewer since the HP website has no page loaded for HP Pavilion 17-e016dx Notebook drivers and latest AMD Catalyst won't load a driver.

Hardware ID from Dev Mgr:

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_990D&SUBSYS_1984103C&REV_00

I wonder if the reason HP is refusing to support Win7 Upgrades on the newest hardware is because they didn't build 7 drivers for their latest GPU's. If not then Standard VGA has a surprisingly high resolution on this GPU, lacks sleep but hibernates fine. It may be the first time I've settled for VGA on new hardware.



Thanks!

Hey Greg. Check out the first post on this page pf the thread.

HP Pavilion 17-e016dx - Page 3 - HP Support Forum - 3062345

In the whole thread, a guy walks someone through getting all the drivers for your model.

I hope this helps.

Catalyst Mobility 13.11 Beta Install failed with this log referenced:

I uninstalled all except other chipset elements SM Bus, SATA and USB filter in Control Panel, reinstalled without the bloatware Accelerator package and it completed but still no change from Standard VGA.

Catalyst mobility requires the .NET Framework 4.5 in Win 7 to run properly. Win 7 comes with .NET 4.0. You could install this and try again:

Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 from Official Microsoft Download Center

It's worth a shot.

Glad it worked!

Glad you got it going Greg
