How to update the ATI Radeon video card driver. Driver Update The device does not need Drivers Update

Hello, admin. Help, please deal with the sequence of installation of programs and drivers.

Notebook Dell Inspiron. M5110, OS - Windows 7 x64. I am going to reset it to the factory settings (to the status in which the system was located when buying a laptop (with a set of software pre-installed and drivers)) and install drivers on the video card and chipset. AMD processor A8-3520M (1.6 GHz, can accelerate to 2.3 with excess GHz when turned on tURBO technologies Core), there is an active cooling (fan). There are 2 video cards: built-in ( AMD Radeon. HD 6620G) and discrete (AMD Radeon HD 7450M).

On the laptop page there are drivers for a chipset and a video card (both are installed using an AMD installer, which indicates that newest can be taken from the AMD website, the same program is downloaded, only a newer version), but they are very old. After resetting to the factory settings, the AMD Catalyst Control Center program is already installed, but some very old versiontabs " AMD OVERDRIVE."It is not in it (it appears only in later versions, on the page of the laptop, too, the pretty old version is also offered to install, there is also no of this tab), and without it Turbo Core. It is not activated, because of which the processor cannot work at frequency above 1,6 GHz., I checked. Adobe Flash Player. also pre-installed a very old version. All this (and not only) needs to be updated.

When you select one of my video cards on the "Drivers and Downloads Center" page (AMD Site) in the Manual Driver menu, it transfers to a page: http://support.amd.com/ru-ru/download/desktop/ Legacy? Product \u003d Legacy3 & OS \u003d Win

When searching for a driver for a chipset in "Manual Driver Select" ("Chipsets" -\u003e "AMD 6,7,8,9-Series Chipsets (no matter what series to choose, redirects exactly the same page on which always It offers to install version 15.7.1, apparently, it contains drivers to all these versions of the chipset; I already tried it to install it, it puts on my laptop perfectly, no errors give out when installing) ...) Introduces the result to the page : http://support.amd.com/ru-ru/download/desktop/legacy?Product\u003dlegCY4&os\u003dWIN.

When I installed the driver on the video card version 14.9 (including version 15.7.1) (it was before resetting a laptop to factory settings, i.e. when a bunch of my programs was already installed), I started problems with video playback (green background in place where video should have been shown) in various browsers (it was not in flash version Player has been proven by experienced; And not in the chipset version, left 15.7.1, everything works on it), on version 14.9, the video was normally reproduced, so it left it. But maybe when I put the version of the driver on the video card 15.7.1 on the OS in the state of factory settings, everything will be fine?

Recommend, please what order setting the following drivers and programs (And it is necessary to put some of them):
Driver for chipsets and drivers on video cards from the site of the laptop manufacturer (whether it is necessary to put them at all, maybe you need to install them immediately from the site so that there is no garbage from this version of the drivers when installing newest)
Driver for chipset (15.7.1) from AMD
Driver on the video card from the AMD website (what version of the driver package to choose: Catalyst Software Suite 15.7.1 (My video cards are in the list of supported in this version, just do not remember whether drivers are installed on both video cards when installing this package, or the driver on discrete video card You can only take on the website of the laptop manufacturer, but then to which of the video cards (built-in or discrete) you need to put the drivers at the beginning?) Or Radeon Software CRIMSON Edition 16.2.1 Beta (This is an updated version of the previous program that checks periodically newer versions of the drivers and maintains their installation without the need to go to the site for a newer version for a newer version; latest version This program is 16.4.2, but my video cards are not in the list of models supported in this version, apparently, 16.2.1 Beta is the latter in which they have their support)?)
Windows 7 updates (over 100 pieces), including. Net Framework. and others (without which the work of some programs is impossible).
Update DirectX to the latest version
Update Adobe Flash Player to the latest version
Installing Java.

Installing newer versions (where possible) the rest of the drivers (for sound card, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cards for wired connection to the Internet and others) from the laptop page

A list of almost all devices (even non-working) is contained in the device manager. The branches of non-working devices are automatically unfolded, and a tiny yellow is displayed on the icon of such a device. exclamation point. In addition, the list may be another item - unknown devices (Unknown Devices).

These are the most obvious signs of droves, and similar problems Easy to solve. (Of course, the reason may also be incorrect bIOS settings or malfunction of the equipment itself ... but most often the case is in the driver.)

In order to check the current device driver, double-click on the line of the equipment you are interested in in the Device Manager window and in the window that opens, go to the Driver tab (DRIVER). Take a look at the date of release of the driver - this is the easiest, although not an unmistakable way to determine that the installed driver is part of Windows 7. If you see the date on July 13, 2009 (first release of the operating system) and version number 6.1.7600.xxxxx, then This is a driver from the delivery of Windows 7. Otherwise, it is most likely a driver installed from the disk, from the manufacturer of the manufacturer of the device, from the update package Windows Update. or remaining from the previous one windows version. Although the driver of the driver can be judged by the date of its release, it is not possible to rely solely on it.

Click the Driver Details button to check which files use this driver. Sometimes download the driver does not succeed just because one of the necessary files There is no or damaged - the problem with which the driver update is not always coping. In such cases, it is useful to remove and re-install the device (more on this below).

When troubleshooting troubleshooting, it is important not to forget about the firmware update; Read more about this in the next insert.

Firmware: Hardware Software

Firmware of many modern devices, including hard drives, printers, video cards and, of course, motherboards, users themselves can be updated. Firmware is softwarerecorded inside the device and the controlling of its functions. Although the new firmware will not be able, for example, increase the volume hard disk, it is quite capable of improving productivity and eliminate errors in devices such as wireless routers, DVD players, motherboards and even digital cameras.

The beauty of the firmware is that they save you money. Suppose the manufacturer of your device you have produces it new version. You download from the manufacturer's site latest firmware, Install it and get a new device completely free.

Computer technologies do not stand still, and manufacturers regularly update the software for computer components. And in order for the operating system to work stably, it is very important to know how to update the drivers on Windows 7. First, let's figure it out, what is the driver? Driver is special programwhich is responsible for the correct interaction of peripheral devices and additional components with a computer. It turns out that without drivers no computer, no printer, no other devices will work. There are only two ways to install and update drivers:

automatic update;
manual update.

Stable system operation can be broken by viruses that need to be deleted. You can learn about how to clear your computer from them in this article. The browser is often worth checking and cleaned separately, which you can find out.

Updating drivers automatically

You can view all installed drivers for sound card and other devices in "Device Manager". You can open it as follows:

1. Click the Start button, in the search stitch type "Device Manager", Open it with a mouse click.

3. Here we offer two options for installing drivers: automatically and manually. We will choose an automatic update. windows drivers 7 and the program will start searching on Microsoft update servers.

4. After the search is completed, the driver will be found, the driver will be updated. To complete, click OK.

This method has its own minuses - base microsoft drivers Although it is huge, but still does not cover all the devices, so you can encounter the fact that the driver will not automatically be updated.

Manual Driver Update

Consider the case when you need to update the driver in manual mode. To begin with, we will understand how to check the driver for Windows 7. Select the device for which you want to update the driver, let it be a video adapter, and go by steps:

right-click on the line with a video adapter and select the item "Properties";
in the window that appears, switch to the "Driver" tab and remember which version of the driver is installed;

we launch the browser and in the search bar we write the model of our video card;
go to the manufacturer's website;
we choose the model of our video card and a version with the discharge of the operating system;
we look at the version of the driver, if the version is different - download the latest version of the driver;
we produce installation;
after installation, check the driver version.

Adjusting a video system requires that the computer has been installed proper driver monitor. In fact, of course, no driver is needed to monitor - he is so able to work, although not in full force, but for computer games availability of the driver is definitely - let's look in detail the topic - how set or update driver monitor.

In fact, the monitor driver is just an information file in which the monitor limit features are recorded. When installing the driver, these parameters are transferred to the registry. Windows, And from there they are presented to the video card driver. Our goal is simple: notify the video card driver about what the monitor is really capable of. This is necessary in order to then, when configuring a video card, do not specify such parameters that can output a monitor.

To execute the settings associated with the monitor drivers and the video card, the button is used - additionally on the-setting tab of the dialog box - Properties: Screen - for Windows XP. . For Windows 7. : Start - Control Panel - Design and Personalization - Screen - Screen Resolution - Extra options. This opens a dialog box of the properties of the video adapter and monitor:

This window does not have standards (not standardized) and for different video cards (and even for different drivers One video card) can have different controls (adapter, diagnostics, color management, etc.). Nevertheless, those elements of management that we will talk about are present in any case - just need to be found.

First of all, open the Monitor tab and make sure that the monitor is defined uniquely - its model must be clearly indicated (in my case, as shown in the figure above - the standard PNP monitor, since I have a laptop). If this is the case, the monitor is known for the operating system, and nothing needs to do anymore.

The only thing you can do is try it refresh Driver Monitor:

To do this, click the Update button, as in the figure above and act according to the actions of the update wizard.

If the monitor is not defined or instead of it is a type entry - Standard monitor, That monitor system is not known and you need to install it. This is the button - Change . When it is pressed, the driver update wizard starts.

Further actions depend on whether you have a disk with a monitor driver or not. If there are no drivers, the knowledge of the monitor manufacturer will be very helpful specific model (This data can be found in the documentation for the monitor). If there is no documentation, the shortest concept of the monitor model and its manufacturer, then achieve optimal settings It is hardly possible - although in our age it is in principle impossible. This situation happens with very old monitors.

The first window of the Master of Informational - I miss it. Work begins with the second window.
In the second wizard window, turn on the switch - display the list of all drivers so that you can choose the most suitable of them. Do not look at what Master It recommends turning on the other switch, - it is better to rely on the automation, but on yourself. After clicking on the button - Further The following wizard window opens.
Here is a list of different equipment. Since we are engaged in installing the monitor driver, select the item in the list Monitors. Press the button Further - The dialog box opens - Driver Update .
In this window, turn on the Display Switch full list devices.
From this point on, the order of further actions is different, depending on whether you have a driver. The best option is when it is. In this case, click - Install from disk.
The following dialog box is called the installation from the disk. In it, use the Overview button fill in the input field. It should be registered in it to access the folder in which the monitor driver is stored. Click OK.
After reading the list of drivers located in the folder you specified, the system will display it in the Driver Update window. Make sure the switch is Display a complete list of devices enabled and select the most appropriate driver. Click OK.
In the following wizard windows, press the Next button. In the last window, click Finish.
At the end of the driver installation, make sure that the monitor's monitor dialog box appears correctly information about the monitor.

... If there is no monitor driver at hand, but the device manufacturer and model number is known, then back to claim 5. And let's try to select a monitor driver from the database that comes with operating system Windows.

In the Driver Update dialog box, there are two list: left - manufacturers; Right - models. Select the manufacturer of your monitor in the left list, and in the right - model number. Click OK.
In the subsequent windows of the wizard, press the button below. In the last window, click Finish.

At the end of the driver installation, make sure that the monitor of the video card properties dialog box appeared correct information about the monitor, as written at the beginning of the article.

If in the dialog box - Driver Update, There is no manufacturer of your monitor or there is no such model, as you, it means to use the Internet.

With any search engine Lay by company name Web.-press of her site and find a link there allowing you to choose and download necessary driver. Typically, manufacturers of equipment place links for downloading drivers in the Support section.

If the product has been produced for a very long time and its manufacturer has long been closed, you can contact the nationwide collections of drivers on sites Www Or to Web - forums on which users exchange their problems.

Honored reputation enjoys, for example - service DriverPack Solution (http://drp.su/ru/), leading the database of drivers. Service services are free, even registration is not required - I recommend.

Finally, the worst case - when it is not known about the product at all, except that this is really a monitor. Then in the dialog box - Driver Update, Select Standard monitors in the manufacturers list, and in the model list, one of the models depending on the size of the screen. For example, if the screen size is 15.6 inches, select either paragraph 1366 x 768, based on how to work with what resolution. If suddenly it turns out that the monitor "does not pull" a higher value, step back to the lower.

Dear readers - in this article I tried to explain - how to install or update the monitor driver,namely, the principle of updating the monitor driver in order for this question no longer causes you difficulties.
