    Ok, short story is,
    i've installed windows 8 on my system and stock drivers from cd and everything worked fine.
    But "geeky" as i am, i've decided try out the news beta11.

    Basicly im going back and forward with beta11 and latetest intel drivers, cd drivers, clevo website drivers and nothing appears to work as previously.
    All night and this afertnoon on this drama and nothing worked so far.

    Any ideas guys?

    PS: Im seriously thinking changing to a 680M and say never again to AMD products.

    Lol sorry about the bad luck. Which edition of 8 did you install? Are you getting anywhere with the other drivers? And did you get that message with the driver from the CD - or from Intel's site?

    Easy fix, install the stock driver. Then install any driver you want but do a custom install and uncheck everything but display driver.

    You will keep your old CCC and everything will work. And you don't need to unistall everything, just install on top of stock driver.
