i have an HP ENVY 1580 DESKTOP WIN8.1 w/ 2 monitors and AMD RADEON HD 7570 everything used to work perfect in the past until i got a different gpu but returned it so now the catalyst and hydravision will not recognize ati hardware and the computer states the device manager graphics adapter as generic windows instead of 7570, it wont update the driver in device manger cannot find a path specified. i tried to unistall everything amd/ati the driver, etc, tried legacy and not legacy for hp boot, tried safe mode and regular, tried older drivers, beta drivers, dont know what to do anymore,

update: at this point im just gonna restore my computer to factory, since its always fun to do that (sarcasm) only upside it runs like a new computer again, but i hope a restore to factory should fix it i will update, in the mean time any help would be appreciated

sorry about the caps didnt know funny thing is its easier for me to read caps
