    Hello all,
    I have a M18x with crossfire M290x. I've upgraded to a SSD and ive re-installed windows 10 and the drivers.
    but my GPU's seem to be running a bit slow and I have this error code in Device manager.
    PLEASE could someone help???

    Device PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6801&SUBSYS_05AB1028&REV_00\4&3040a25b&0&0008 requires further installation.

    Looks like bugged driver, just try another version. It's normal with AMD.

    Ok. Time for update. I've tried nearly every AMD update and the error message is always there. Also I've reinstalled Windows 3 times too. I'm totally lost now. Not a clue what to do now. :-(
