Installing 12.11 Beta (Don't know what is so hard).

It's easy, but I see so many complaints that drivers not working, BSOD whatever, don't know how so many people are screwing up installing drivers. I even see dumb things like mismash mixing of driver files from different versions...

Also you don't need a unified driver with Intel+AMD packaged up, no more Leshcat. Since Beta 12.9 AMD has been providing stand alone package drivers. Meaning you install Intel and AMD separately now.

Normally, you just uninstall drivers, Intel/AMD. Install Intel, reboot. Install AMD, reboot. Done, voila.

But for those who have messed with modded drivers or really old drivers, or tweaks or whatever you may have done, here is a the cleanest uninstall/install I can think of. Did it 5 minutes ago and it works just dandy. If you mess this up, it's hopeless, just RMA your machine and have the manufacturer/reseller do it for you....

This is what you need for what I just did 5 minutes ago to make sure it installs, smooth, easy, no BSOD or other user issues (Yeah not AMD, the USER).

1). Go to Programs and Features and do express uninstall of AMD Catalyst. Then uninstall your Intel drivers. Don't reboot.

2). Run ATiMan Uninstaller. Select A for Automatic. ATiMan Uninstaller will restart/reboot by itself.

3). At reboot, ATiMan Uninstaller will continue, press C for continue.

4). Once you are at desktop and ATiMan finished, run Driver Fusion. Analyze and Delete for both Intel Graphics and AMD Graphics.

5). Run CCleaner registry. Run it until it finds nothing.

6). Reboot

7). Install Intel Drivers. Reboot.

8). Install AMD drivers. Reboot.

If this didn't work for you, then I have no idea. I guess AMD just sucks right? Go green then.

 

Thanks for the explanation, but why didn't you simply post this without the tiring "I am Neo. Certified computer God" elitism?

An eight step guide requiring multiple 3rd party utilities for a clean install is not anywhere close to being 'easy'. Easy is clicking the 'Next' button three times in an install wizard and that obviously doesn't seem to work for some people.

 

This is for people who messed it up. It is easy. Normal easy is, express uninstall from programs and features, reboot, install new drivers. Done.

But yeah, just the way I am, a bum. Anyway, I wouldn't have posted this if I didn't think it would help some people.

 

I wish it was so simple. I still get the BSOD, No matter what i do, the atikmdag.sys and atikmpag.sys in 12.11 give me a BSOD on window startup "attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed". Maybe it's hardware, i don't know, I don't blame amd since it's beta, I will stay on stock driver untill the next beta.

 

If the driver is causing a lot of problems for a lot of people, it's good to step back and consider the possibility that there is something wrong with the driver.

Of course, in this case, the driver is in beta. It's not surprising that some problems exist. Expect issues, and note that problems may be dependent on your configuration.

 

Exactly - I've gone back to stock. I've gotten 12.11 to work and when it does - its flipping amazing. I'm happy that we have something really awesome to look forward to. My 3DMark11 Score of 7111 really impressed the crap out of me. And that's not crazy overclocked either like some of the bench only clocks I've seen. When we get a stable driver - that's the exact power I'll be gaming with as it never got over 71 degrees and stayed around 68-69. I'm rolling back till the official comes out - or another beta that has better results.

 

Sorry this is not easy....my nvidias are "easy"...all you have to do is:

run nvidia installer
reboot


Also I see no mention of CAP in the OP

 

I do a lot of programming myself on a daily basis, so for me your steps look pretty darn easy I would say, it's just that the problem lies elsewhere for some people. what is also easy to see here is the ignorance in what you are saying, Hula Its like "I dont understand why all these people in the world are starving, 'cause I'm ok" ........ duh....
What's easy is seeing this for what it is, what the official NAME is. 12.11 BETA!
