Replace Standard VGA Graphic adapter with AMD Radeon(TM) R4 Graphics

Hi everyone.
I am so happy with Windows 7 that I have bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50D-B, but I did not love nothing of the pre-installed win 8 at all, so I formatted the disk and copied onto it the last image I had of Window 7 and all my well functioning programs. The image came from a HP Pavilion 6xxxx, thus the drivers of all hard drive components needed to be replaced with that of Toshiba. I went on Toshiba site and found all drivers I needed of my new laptop and for windows 7 (32 first and 64 bit then). The only problem remaining is that I cannot replace the Standard VGA Graphics adapter with the AMD Radeon(TM) R4 Graphics. I have tried any methods I know, mounted and unmounted many drivers. I tried also to make a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit in a new partition, but the standard vga graphics adapter remains there impassible. Catalyst installs but does not see the display. I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstall), the sole program that has eliminated Catalyst perfectly from my new laptop, but the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter remains still unmovable. As i found suggested on the internet I tried to uninstall the old driver and reinstall the new in windows dafe mode. Is it possible there are some HP drivers blocking the installation of the correct AMD driver???
Any suggestion? I have the disks for restoring my satellite to its original horror Win 8.1 pre-installed state, if this can be of some help, to catch some 8.1 drivers, for example...
Thank in advance for a help.

Small correction on that, it's the drivers for the Motherboard components that you need. There appears to be more to the model number such as Toshiba Satellite L50D-B-124 as an example, will help in finding the correct drivers.

Dear Berton,
thank you for responding me. Maybe I have not understood your reasoning in the right sesnse, but all drivers I tried to install on my Toshiba come from Toshiba or AMD site, and are specific for the exact model of Satellite I have. Best regards.

Hi ... The problem seems to be that we can not find your Model Number on the Toshiba Website ..

There looks to be some letters missing at the end of your Model Number..


Could you provide a Link for your Model Number .. That contains Windows 7 Drivers ? ..

Hi Maxie, thank you. My Laptop identity card reports:

Toshiba Satellite Skullcandy
L50D-B-12W
serial number
6E221980C
model number
PSKULE-00K009IT

AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon G4 graphics

As you could see by your eyes, I got all drivers for that "exact" model in the site of Toshiba Europe as indicated in the customer instructions: Download Windows 7 drivers:

Best regards,
Stefano

[maxie]

Your problem seems to be only 64 Bit Drivers available .. Despite what the Toshiba Website says ...

Dear Maxie, many thanks. I will try what you suggest. And even though this too does not work I will accept that Standar VGA Graphic Adapter in my pc, also seen that I never run games on it. I will keep you updated.
Best regards,
Stefano

 

[maxie]

I see no reason why it should not work ... Just follow the Steps in the Tutorial .. It also includes the Link to the ISO ..

 

[smarcelli]

I am sorry... I did not understand, it's better to install Win-7 32 or 64 bit?

 

[maxie]

Install the 64 Bit OS ..

 

[smarcelli]

Many thanks. Best bowing regards to the maxie Seven Guru!

 

[maxie]

Most welcome glad we could help

 

[smarcelli]

Dear Maxie, I am ready for the clean install of Win7 x64 Ultimate SP1. I apologize for the many questions, but I wish to know whether I can install it in a new formatted partition or must format the entire hard disk. Thanks in advance forever!

Make sure you Backup any Files or Documents you want to keep ... Do you have a Recovery Drive for Windows 8 ? ...

If you have any old Windows 7 Partitions delete them all ..


I am not sure of what size of Drive you have ...


Only you can decide which size of Partitions you need ..

I am having the exact same issue with this APU

AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics

Hardware ID:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9851&SUBSYS_F9361179&REV_00

I bought my computer (Toshiba Satellite C75D-B7200) Win 8.1 and quickly formatted it to 7. I have so far managed to install every driver besides the one for the graphics. Inside the device manager it shows "STANDARD VGA GRAPHICS ADAPTER"

So far I have tried installing the drivers though the AMD CCC which fails to recognize my apu. I have tried installing the drivers for the graphics from other manufactures websites with the same apu and it just runs the AMD CCC after downloading. I have also tried to "update driver" in the device manager but the windows says it is the vga driver is the best it has found.

Nothing seems to be working here. If anyone has a solution to this problem that doesn't involve running windows 8/8.1 please post.

Windows is completely up to date btw

Hi Have you tried the Driver in the Link below ...


Driver Details - Toshiba

 

[dctrsatan]

I have tried that, yes. When you run that it unpacks some files and when you point to the folder from the update driver option it says the standard vga is the best one on the system. Also when you run the setup file in the unpacked folder it just pops up amd ccc and doesn't have the graphics option in it only sm bus and other stuff i have installed already.

 

[maxie]

That is the problem the Graphics is part of Chipset ... If you look on the HP Website you will not see any Chipset Drivers

So looking else where for a Driver for the Graphics is not going to work ...
