    I have a Samsung series 3 vp350v5c-t01us with an ivy i7 and 7770m. First thing I did was put in a SSD and install windows 7. The 7770m has been nothing but issues. Either the original drivers need to be installed or beta drivers do. Standard drivers from the AMD site won't recognize the card. Problem is the latest beta drivers cause blue screen immediately after the computer boots to desktop.

    I've been reading this is mainly a Windows 7 problem and not an AMD driver problem. If I go back to Window 8 ... will the latest drivers from the AMD site work without issue?

    Also, if you have any other advice regarding 7770m and getting it working on windows 7, please let me know or direct me to the right place.

    What was your solution?

    Also have you checked out Leshcat drivers?

    It's great that you got it working. Well done!

    But to repeat Bonham's question, it would be nice if you could post your solution, so as to help others in the same or similar situation. That's what this forum is all about.
