    Hello everyone,

    I have a clevo p150sm with amd 8970m + intel 4600 and windows 8.1 64 bit

    Today I was trying to update the amd driver at the 15.9 beta version (after uninstalling the old one with Display Driver Uninstaller) and I got this error in the middle of the installation.

    I got a blue screen saying "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (amdkmpfd.sys)" and the computer restarted after few seconds.

    I have installed the old drivers again and everything works fine now.

    That means that i cannot update the drivers? Any ideas how to solve that?

    Thanks

    best wait for the next WHQL release.
    over the last 5 years weve had plenty of beta drivers do that but not to everyone even though they had exactly the same systems.
