Windows 10: AMD Radeon HD 7730M - Failed Installation after Clean format.

Hello all!

This is my first post on tenforums. I've being trying to solve an issue for the last 6 months or so. My AMD Radeon HD 7730M (2GB) refuses to allow AMD drivers and necessary software to be installed on my Dell Inspiron 15R 7520 SE (April 2012).

Win Version: Win 10 Pro 1809 (17763.1282, fresh install after format).
I've made an AMD Community post about this issue: Need help - Code 31 and whole host of other iss... | Community
Specs for reference:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3612QM @2.10GHz
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 @1600MHz
GPU (integrated): Intel HD Graphics 4000
GPU (dedicated): AMD Radeon HD 7730M.

My issues so far:

It started in December 2019. I received a DPC Watchdog Violation GSOD (was using Win Insider build). I attempted to fix it using SFC and DISM. Failure. Backed up Uni content on a separate USB drive.
Had to do a full Reset of PC (wiped all content on drives).

Created a Win10 1909 USB (latest in Dec!), successful installation. Attempts to install AMD drivers with amd.com drivers, then Guru-3D drivers. Both failed and resulted in BSOD of Inaccessible Boot Device.
Between Dec 2019 and now, I have been trying to use AMD's software to install. I have tried using DDU and AMD Cleanup Utility. Safe Mode, no Internet and no antivirus at time of install, also failed. Woopee!

Skip to June 8th, 2020. Recently, attempted to install Dell drivers. Same DPC Watchdog BSOD. This time, managed to corrupt copy of Windows so hard that Windows Modules Installer Worker was continuously running, the CPU peaking at 100% usage, Disk at 100% usage, and taskbar and Desktop flashing. Chrome and File Explorer being closed down every five minutes.

Stuff got broken. So I had to wipe the drive for the second time and install Win 10 Pro 1809 17736.1282. Same issues as before.

I just want to play CoD 4 at 90FPS again and not being had over by AMD.

No one in the AMD Community and Dell has put out a viable fix. All attempts seem to be based on luck and prayers.

Windows update failed to install my display driver amd radeon HD 7730M

Windows update has failed to install my display driver amd radeon HD 7730M and neither allowing me to install it manually from the AMD website or from the dell website on which the driver is available. I am using Dell Inspiron 15R SE laptop. I downloaded
the driver manually from the dell website when the windows update failed to install it automatically but it seems that it is not allowing me to install it manually as well. I am getting an error message when i try to install it manually as "Operation Failed".
I play games on my laptop and i desperately need my amd catalyst control center as well as switchable graphics. Please help me out and respond as soon as possible.

p.s My OS is windows 10 64-bit and i am having this problem since when i upgraded to windows 10. please contact me on this email id

 

AMD Radeon HD 3450

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



As per the device manufacturer’s support site, the graphics card is not designed to support Windows 10, the drivers for ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics card are available only up to Windows 8, you can try with installing
AMD Catalyst software Suite for Windows 8/8.1 in compatibility
mode and see if it helps.

• Right click the applications installation file (exe), select
  Properties andgo toCompatibility
  Tab.
  
• Select the appropriate options from the list.
  
• Click Apply/OK.
  
• Right Click the file and select the
  Run as administrator option to install.
  

I also suggest to check in device manager if the PC has integrated graphics or get in touch with the device manufacturer to check the same. You can also get the complete device specifications by entering the System Service tag
Here.



Hope the information is helpful.

Driver Error AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000

ok, it didn't work after all. windows update has seemingly installed another
driver update for my amd mobility radeon hd 5000, this time breaking it again.

i tried what you suggested step by step, but that didn't work either. I'll try it again with running a win 7 driver in compatibility between steps two and three and keep you posted on the results.
