I have looked on here and googled trying to find the answer and I can't find any that fit my exact scenario. I have already tried a couple fixes that I have seen for other cards, they did not work. I have tried fully uninstalling the drivers using the DDU program, that did not work.

I have an r9 270x, with an AMD A-10 7850k cpu, on windows 8.1. I have tried everything I can think of at this point to make these graphics drivers update. I have waited for the next updates to come out hoping that would fix the issue, it did not. I have been trying to update this for over 6 months now.

Normally I would not care, but this series of drivers that I have currently crash at least once a day and it drives me nuts. It also will no longer run the most recent build of ARK, and that for me is a big issue.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
 
May I ask can you crossfire the FM2 Cpu/APU with the R9270x card ?

I would of thought it would involve you having to install the APU version of the AMD video driver.
To update that first.
Then restart your system.
Then download and Install the Gpu driver from AMD for the R9 270 Pci-e card you have also in the system.

Then enable crossfire mode for the APU, and GPU of your system.
The APU and the GPU need each driver set to be installed.

I would suspect both have to be the same driver version.
GPU drivers APU drivers.

I don't even know how to do any of that. I bought this pc from ibuypower through Best Buy. It came as it is. I have not updated the driver since I bought it, because I have not been able to.
