Unable to load drivers for GFX card

Bennie-Mac · 23 Sep 2011 at 21:50

Hi guys, I just bought a new mobo and CPU which are working fine, however I can't get Windows Vista to load the drivers for the graphics card (ATI HD 5450). This is a fresh install and the card was working perfectly before hand with the same copy of Vista in my old setup.

I've installed the latest drivers from AMD and this is confirmed in the Device Manager section of Control Panel, however the card won't work and I'm getting the error "The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers for this device. (Code 31)."

Does anyone know a fix for this or have any suggestions to help?

Thanks

tried a different set of drivers? Is it a vanilla ATI card or is it an MSI card or similiar? If it's a different manufacturer maybe their drivers will work...

I haven't tried the manufacturers drivers, I'll do that now, thanks

Hmm no joy, its an XFX card and they just direct you to ATI's site which are the drivers I'm using.
