Good day all,
I've recently purchased an SSHD for my Acer Aspire V3-551G-8454. Given the choice, I installed Windows 7 (instead of the default Windows 8 that came with the pre-installed HDD). As a result, I've had to reinstall drivers and such.
Here is my dilemma: I am trying to play Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls; however the game consistently crashes whenever I reach certain maps (in particular The Cesspools and Desolated Sands). My driver at this time is the driver recommended to me by the AMD website, which I believe is AMD Catalyst 14.4.
The battle.net forums have recommended that I downgrade my display drivers to AMD Catalyst 13.x. I have tried to attempt this with both 13.1 and 13.9, but upon restart I get the following error: "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware."
When I try to play on my HDD, I am able to play on both of these maps perfectly fine. The drivers on my HDD were obtained by going through the Device Manager and selecting "Update Driver Software" (automatic search function) via right-click. I am not sure what the "name" is but the Driver Version is listed as 8.941.4.1000.
When I use these same drivers on my SSHD however, Diablo 3 and Hearthstone crash on startup; Steam refuses to boot; Windows Explorer is liable to crash; along with a slew of other things that I do not understand how they could be related to a display driver.
Any help toward resolving my issue would be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, if you could explain why my HDD's drivers do not work on my SSHD, that would be tremendous.
