    Solved Win 8 AMD Switchable Graphics FAQ

    That's for the leshcat drivers, right? I'll have to see what the default setting for this machine is. I wonder why the intel driver update didn't work? Oh, well. After my last Windows 8 update, ie10 keeps stopping and trying to restart. I thought maybe the video drivers might be involved. It's...

    I tried the leshcatlabs drivers when I was first updating to 8.0 but I couldn't get them to work. Are the new ones more stable? Do they work with my machine? And how do you set the bios? Thanks -

    Someone mentioned that HP was indeed going to release a driver for my 6370M - AMD put one on their page 2 days ago. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks

    @Alphastar Thanks for all your efforts...Hey, I went down a lot of rabbit holes this lst week, I just hope it helps others. I'm still waiting to hear about that tantalizing W8 driver for my card. Thanks again, it's been an education!

    I have a C, D and F partition, same as it was with W7. E is my BDRom drive. So it used the same partitions. I'll take a look at my clone in the morning and see what the used space is.... BTW My fan gets pretty loud after this last driver install. Still working, but I've heard of general heat...

Haven't let it go into sleep mode or hibernate yet, but power saving works. Now if there is no automatic update, this might be a temporary solution . I was going...

    Well, you gave it your best shot. Wish we'd figured out it wouldn't work before, but hopefully it will help someone else. I've thought about trying the Leshcat drivers, but I still have the problem of ridding my system of all those pesky AMD/ATI files. HP says they're not going to support my...

    That driver version was before I restarted....the new one wouldn't have shown up yet, would it? That Beta 8 version is from the AMD site, right? So you're saying load Beta 8 and then uninstall it, all with the AMD GPU disabled? Then run the newest version of Driver Fusion from safe mode, and...

    Well, It went to repair and the restore with shift f8. I'm going to be back running the Intel Adapter I suppose. Device Manager showed the Standard VGA Adapter for a second or so, then loaded the other drivers. Can't seem to get it cleaned out. I might try it again, Alphastar. You've gone way...

    Confused again... those instructions say to use the Intel Graphics to install the driver. I've used Driver Fusion, then uninstalled the adapters from Device Manager, and rebooted. I've got the wddmv1.2.0 AMD driver and the Intel.

    Done - when you say run SP59147, do you mean the setup file? If I were to use the Have Disk method, where would I point it to? God, I feel like I'm getting more dense as the day goes on.
