AMD Needs Your Help: Catalyst Driver Special Submission Form
Hello everyone,

AMD needs your help

As we continue to improve our Catalyst Driver suite, for the next 7 days we are making a concerted effort to increase the number of reports we receive to create a “bible” of bugs/issues encountered by our customers to help us make our Catalyst Driver better.

We kindly ask you to help us by submitting any issues or bugs you have experienced with our drivers by using the special submission form below. Note that this form (which closes on Sept 12), is different from the standard Issue Reporting Form we regularly use; therefore I ask that you use this form even if you used another form already.

Please click here to access the form.

Thank you very much!

I've got 14.9.1 with no problems though.



can you navigate in system information inside ccc to check if it's listed as 14.9.1 or 14.4?

unless something changes my next card will be NVidia amd already pissed me and outher vista users when they tried to drop vista support on there cards and we had to send in a lot of hate mail on that
I mean you support xp, 7, 8, 8.1 but not vista ??? that kinda told me I cant trust them for supporting me

how do you support xp and 7 but not vista??? NVidia don't seen to have a issue with it and still as last I checked fully supported with there cards ..

I done moved off on there desktop boards and chips for the first time in 14 years and built my first intel rig after my am3+ disappointment and seeing that my next and only upgrade was to a 220w blast heater chip and still stuck with a 4 year old board platform wit no improvements or new chipset over the board I bought when they first came out just could not see rebuying back in to the past and there apu thing is little to no interest to me that puts a guy back to a Athlon chip --wow

I made a guide on how to manually install newer drivers on Vista.

To be honest I think that is kind of paranoid to think. Although it is possible for a bad
driver to break hardware (it has happened) it is very unlikely to be deliberate.

Especially since it would be risking having to provide all new cards -- or worse -- a lawsuit

After installing 14.9 resulting in black screens on start up, presumably from catalyst. Then installed 14.9.1 beta and had relative success, except catalyst eyefinity doesn't adjust bezel properly at all and still blackscreens infrequently. To finally going back to 14.4 2 weeks laterwhich now is giving me weird things like Trixx not automatically adjusting voltage offset during overclock. Small issue, but bezel adjust works so well on 14.4 compared to 14.9.1. I do get 60 fps while in eyefinity running Mantle in bf4 on ultra with aa offso if they can make better driver than 14.4 for me I will be pleased toi see any improvements. By the way Raptr causes many issues on my rig too, I think some of my bsod on 14.9.1 came from that because after turning it off I could run bf4 for as long as I wanted on 14.9.1

Well it actually happens (kinda) but with an unexpected turn over.
My brand new R7 250 refuses to run with drivers on my non next-gen rig (middle 2012-2013 stuff), the only solution I could find (tried everything) was switching brands, gone for an Nvidia card, problems solved.

Hey you never really know. They might actually do that, but the only way it'd happen is if they update the firmware, or if they've programmed a 'soft' kill switch into the card :D

Submitted.
So if this driver has damaged my HIS 5750 and it doesn't work anymore, could I get a free replacement/upgrade to a newer GPU? Preferably an R9 270 (Only have a 500 watt PSU with a single 6-pin connector) lol

well I was reading the new 14.9 driver foot notes and see that my issue is now stated in the known issues so maybe they got reports on that atidxx32 dll thing and listed it now as a issue ????

i'm good with that and someone may be working on it ????


I just got an PM from the OP of this thread, he said they were working on a new driver update at this moment. I hope they release it soon.
