EDIT: How to make AMD Catalyst 14.4 NOT break Windows boot-up? (ACHI unchecking out of question)

Kilo7- · May 30, 2014

This is soooo pissing me off. AMD 14.4 basically breaks my computer at the Windows Boot-Up screen, forcing me to run it in safe mode and uninstall 14.4. Before I ignored 14.4 for awhile and played games normally. Now I have Wolfenstein and Watch_Dogs and they NEED 14.4 to operate. I read somewhere that unchecking the AHCI when custom installing 14.4 will fix the windows boot-up problem.

I cannot find this "ACHI check box". I click Install, then two choices pop up, express or custom. I hit custom. I get no other options. It goes right to installing 14.4 as if I hit express. WTF?

i dont under stand all these 14.x driver issues.. last gut i helped on them i went and downloaded them installed them run them uninstalled the reinstalled them never had one issue in the prosess .... but the thing i dont get is why does AMD feel that i want or need things outher than the vid-card driver in the first place i did not go there for usb-chipset- achi- i just want the vid-card driver nothing else...

read this link of the forbes story on amd and watchdogs..

Are your SATA ports set to ACHI in the BIOS?

I don't see how a SATA port setting would affect a GPU driver...

cause AMD forces them on you this stuff is in the vidcard driver package when you get there cards driver this stuff comes along with it .. they need to stop that crap

foscooter :

Catalyst also provides chipset and storage controller drivers for those who have AMD motherboards

junkeymonkey · May 31, 2014

well thats all good but were not needing them we need vid-card drivers

if i want or need a driver for another componet then i'll go get that but forceing it on you is just not good i run intel and so why do i want that i now got a trash can full of amd folders not related to anything to the card

junkeymonkey · May 31, 2014

Just one of the reasons I switched from AMD GPU to NVidia GPU! Serious driver issues!

Never had an AMD based motherboard or CPU.

I just had the one small issue removed the driver rolled back IE installed the driver I was using to start with and re-updated IE its all good now the thing I see wrong here is AMD mixing in the drivers you don't want or need in with the vid card driver I guess it for them fm2 users [???] but it not a stand alone gpu driver as it should be . eaven if I had a amd board and it was working fine i'm still forced to install drivers from them weather I like it or not or weather they screw up my system-- that's just bad

I believe past 14.1 Catalyst Beta Drivers, you have to uninstall the old drivers first. Try that?

you always do that first for a clean install
