I've just installed a fresh windows 7 on my computer.

Installing drivers... all went good up until the GPU. I'm using the R7 250 gpu and whenever i install any driver, I've tried 14.4 and 14.6 drivers and when the install finishes it just says "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly.".

I've tried even the CD that comes with the GPU, but nothing, just the error. I currently disabled firewall and am trying again but I doubt it'll work.
What should I do?

Specs - Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU - AMD Athlom 7450 dual core 2.4ghz
GPU - R7 250
RAM 2GB
64bit

Here is your motherboard's manual. Section 3 which begins on page 32 should describe clearly enough how you enter into the BIOS setup for your particular motherboard. :)

Once in your BIOS, navigate to the Advanced menu as shown on page 38.

On the Advanced menu, select Chipset Configuration.

On the Chipset Configuration page, change the Primary Graphics Adapter to PCI Express, to boot first from your R7 250.

Save your changes and exit BIOS, and make certain your display is connected to your R7 250 and not the connection on the motherboard.

Having the machine boot using the BIOS on the R7 250 should make it visible to the driver...

Good luck! :)
