    Hello,
    so at first i dont know do i write in correct section, also sorry for my bad english.
    So i got notebook Asus M51Ta with dedicated graphic card radeon 3650.
    I really want to update the drivers for this card becouse many games just dont work and the only driver that works is +6 years old. I tried 10 diffrent version of 3650 mobility driver and none work - black screen/errors/and **** like this. I tried also auto-update utility -> it install wrong drivers...
    So now im hopeless i tried everything i could.
    Im posting screens of infos about my card :

    Also i know i cant get latest drivers like 13.9 but c'mon there must be some newer version than +6 years old ****.
    Please guys help me, today i wasted like 8 hours of my life and im ready to burn this F**** notebook [or just this 3650 card]

    [UPDATE]
    I tried also this drivers ATI Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11 Modded driver For Legacy GPU - Guru3D.com Forums
    final and beta = black screen, i was installing them by installator and by device menager -> always same result.

    This is how drivers look in device menager [red cross = dont work] :

    I have the Mobility HD3650 in my laptop, and I am running Catalyst 13.9. You should not be using any modded drivers. Modded drivers were done because a long time ago, AMD/ATI did not release mobile drivers themselves. The problem might be that you have too much driver garbage on your computer. Use a tool to get rid of absolutely everything on your computer related to AMD/ATI. Then go to AMD's website and either download the driver itself, or download their driver update utility to do it for you. Both have 100% worked for me.

    So after looking into it, it looks like your computer has dual switching GPU's. There is the HD 3200 IGP and then there is the HD 3650 discrete GPU. My Lenovo is similar, but with the IGP being from Intel. The way I installed the graphics was to to download the GPU switching drivers from Lenovo and install those, which used an older version of the AMD driver (13.6 I believe). Then, with the GPU set to the HD 3650, I ran the AMD driver update tool, which installed the latest Catalyst 13.9.

    Edit: Check out this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-reviews-owners-lounges/284429-asus-m51ta-owners-lounge.html It seems that someone made a tool that allows updating the video driver.

    Also make sure that you have the latest BIOS.

    I know it is a super long thread, but people in there commented that there was a link to the tool in that thread. Update your BIOS. I know that even a company as bad at supporting their products as Asus will tell you how to do it on their website.

    Okey I will update bios, and then i will try normal drivers from ATI website. If this will not work i dont know what then, should i disable 3200 graphic? should i install modded drivers? Why this is so hard?

    because of the dual graphics units, anyway, disable the hd3200 from the bios, installa UNMODDED drivers 13.9 then reboot and reactivate the IGP :)

    Ehh i found out that i had newest BIOS installed, so its not the problem.
    I cant turn off 3200 in BIOS, there is not option for it.
    So now im in place where i was at start, I will try with disabled 3200 in device menager and see what happens

    My elitebook 8530p with same gfx runs catalyst 13.9 modded with mobility modder. Works like a charm.
