    Hello All,

    Yesterday I installed a SSD in my computer followed the install instructions from one of the guides on this forum and now my 6990m will not work. I should also note that I have put Windows 8 on the computer. I have tried everything that I can think of an cannot get the card to work. The two errors that are happening are error 10 cannot start and error 43 windows has found a problem and disabled the card.

    Some of the things that I have tried are....

    uninstalling all display drivers hd3000 and amd
    disabling the hd3000 graphics in windows restarting then trying to install the amd drivers
    I have tried the drivers that came on my restore disk, amd 12.11 and amd 13.1

    I am pretty much out of ideas
