a6 6400K integrated graphics problem (SOLVED)

Hardware Hub CPU
1

Hello,

I had to build an APU based rig for powering a LEDwall at my work. The system boots fine without acceleration, but whenever I install drivers that activate the radeon part of the APU, Windows cannot boot (black screen right after the windows7 moving boot logo, so right at the point when 3D acceleration gets enabled), and my motherboard informs me that 'the overclocking settings failed' after auto rebooting (after 20 seconds of blackscreen) even tho Im running at stock speed.

I used catalyst 13.4 for drivers.

I have a MSI FM2-A85XMA-E35 mobo, and a A6-6400K apu.

My PSU is a frigging 450watts ANTEC....

I use kingston hyperx @ 1600mhz. 2x2GB

Anyone that can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The MSI FM2-A85XMA-E35 needs the newest bios for 'Richland' apu's have you tryed that? 

There is allways a problem with the cheap end MSI mobos for some reason even worse than asrock cheapend ones.

Thanks ill check it out.

I updated to the latest version (from 1.4 to 1.7) and now it says 'incorrect bios version, richland not supported'

This is downright hilarious. im gonna dig around some more but if these weird situations persist I'm going to go with another mobo, rofl

Did a manual update to 1.5, booted into windows, updated it to 2.1 with an executable with the site (didnt appear in liveupdate), restarted again, installed the catalyst 13.4 and

Got a black screen.

I almost feel like riverdancing.

After clearing the cmos with the jumper it suddenly seems to work. Catalyst is having problems installing though, but the radeon is detected and im seeing traces of acceleration at work. If catalyst gets succesfully installed I think it is solved.

But for the love of God, MSI, what the hell are you doing !?

Catalyst installed, my little MSI journey is over. Thanks cooper.

At least tonight people will be seing an accelerated LEDwall instead of a software rendered one.

Picture of the LEDwall plz

I am very glad you asked, I just mounted the big one, seen in pic 2.

initial stage of testing:

And Im moved to outside now, We are assembeling mounting the big one. We are at 5x3 modules right now.

 

In case you were wondering, thats not me but my older buddy on the picture. He made the inox frame and mounts. I took care of the ledcontrollerconfig and software, and ofc, The rig powering the device.

Do ye like the testing picture? :-)
