Windows 10: RADEON HD 4650 Card Not Supported For Win 10?

A DELL Optiplex MT 990 equipped with a RADEON HD 4650 Video Card seems to be unsupported by Windows 10 compatible drivers. (The reason for this configuration is obscure.)

The OS is Windows 10 Pro Version 1809, Build 17763.379.

The PC freezes occasionally -- for reasons that have not as yet been determined.
Very thorough anti-malware scans have been performed and lots of junk removed, but still, an occasional freeze. Therefore, I'm thinking the video card/driver may be at fault.

I'm thinking that since the RADEON HD 4650 is no-longer supported by drivers from AMD, I should probably find a replacement (not from AMD?) for the video card that DOES have driver support for Windows 10. The current card has a VGA, a DVI, and what looks to be either a DP or HDMI port. The usage will be mostly general kinds of work with NO heavy graphics duties - user is NOT a graphic artist, and confines himself to spreadsheets, Word documents, Outlook email, and such like.

I'd appreciate recommendations for a suitable replacement.

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.

Radeon HD 3650

Hi David,

This issue may have occurred due to compatibility issues between the the graphic card and Windows 10. For us to help you with this concern, we'd like to know the current build and version number of your Windows 10. To check, press the Windows key, type
winver, and press the Enter key.

On another note, there are many threads that reported the same issue with ATI Radeon HD with Windows 10. Our developers are already aware of this and we're already researching for a resolution for a future update.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform a roll back on your driver as a workaround. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Go to Device Manager by typing in Devmgmt.msc on the search bar.
  
• Navigate to display devices and right click ATI Radeon HD or similar device you have. Select
  Properties.
• On the Driver tab, hit rollback Driver to go back to the previous version.
  
• The next step would be to block Driver updates from Windows updates.
• Use the show hide tool. As soon as the new driver is detected by Windows Update, hide it. Follow the steps given by
  Sumit Dhiman2 on this
  thread.

Kindly get back to us.
