    Hi,
    I have an Hp pavilion dv3-4061ee which I upgraded from windows 7 64-bit home premium to windows 8.1 preview.
    I first had a problem with the ati driver, it was installed correctly as I saw it in device manager (no yellow triangle) .
    The laptop is chipped with 2 graphic cards : The ati radeon 5450 hd and the intel hd display.
    It seemed though that the intel hd display was working only because when I tried to play a game (need for speed most wanted 2005), it was so slow and there was too much lag.
    I played this game before on my previous operating system and it was running perfectly and it was very smooth.
    This means that there's a problem with the driver.
    Then, I downloaded the ati graphic card from the hp website that is specific for windows 7 64-bit because there was no drivers for windows 8.1 .
    During the installation, the screen went black then I heard a weird voice then the laptop restarted.
    After that, I found no ati driver included in device manager.
    What can I do now ?
    Thanks !
