Let me put some backstory into this so you have a better understanding:
I was first using integrated graphics (more specifically: AMD A4-7300's 8470D) but I finally decided to buy a graphics card (R7 360). I bought a molex as well to supply the GPU with power. Now I know that I'm getting bottleknecked real hard right now as the A4-7300 works crappy with the r7 360, but I am still waiting for my 880k to arrive so I had to deal with it for now (or...I was dealing with it). Out of nowhere I smell smoke from my PC like...from a fire! The smoke wasn't visible and it was just a little smell so no big of a deal. I open up my PC and see that my molex has burnt up. Now my first quick question is: how did it burn up? (I rarely shutdown my PC and put it in sleep most of the time and someone I know says that that is the case.)
But that's not the deal. I decided to work with integrated graphics for now until my new molex arrives. But, for some reason, when I tried to start up CS:GO an engine error popped up saying 'Your graphics hardware does not support all features (CSM) needed to run this game. Device info: ...yadda yadda yadda...DriverName: "Microsoft Basic Render Driver"' So I go to device manager but it says 'AMD Radeon HD 8470D' in Display Adapters. So I'm like WTF!? I download the drivers from: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/desktop-apu-drivers.aspx
It says successfully installed whatever after the installation finished but still comes up with the same error when I try to run CS:GO again!? (BTW was working fine at first before i got my GPU and crap). I ONLY TRIED INSTALLING THE DRIVERS ONCE BEFORE I WROTE THIS AND WILL TRY ONCE AGAIN WHEN I POST THIS.
Now, I am terribly sorry for writing a whole essay for you guys to read but I am really annoyed. Thanks for your support!
