No Drivers for AMD

Ghot said:

Yeah, that's "probably" not needed.

Guess I can go for a clean install? If it takes out my system.

So, I know Radeon is graphics for AMD, but could it possbly be on the motherboard?

I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow (it almost is already) before I do anything drastic.

My eyes are getting kinda gritty.

Thanks for all the help.

In the old days, lots of motherboards had onboard graphics.
Hardly any do, these days.

It's hard to tell though with HP... and I'm pretty burned out myself.

And now, after a few hours sleep, I'm ready to go at it again! After a couple more things . . .

1. This is a dual boot system. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 21H1, Build 19043.1023 as Windows 10 Production.

2. On the other partition, I'm running the latest Insider "Dev". Can't remember the Build number, but after posting this, I'll hop over there and back here to "fill in the blank".

3. Although I get

on my Production system, it doesn't happen on my Insider partition! What the hey???

3. Motherboard - Sunflower 8433 SSID says Video - Integrated graphics, which is confusing at best. However, when reading the motherboard specs, I find no mention of onboard graphics. That should resolve the debate? Maybe? Hopefully?

3. Graphics: S24D300 (1920x1080@60Hz); KA270H (1920x1080@60Hz); 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (EVGA). I'm assuming the first two specs are my monitors and the third one is my Nvidia card.

4. Processor upgrade info as follows: I can upgrade to an AMD Ryzen5-2600 (Pinnacle Ridge) 6 cores/12 threads 65 W CPU.

At this point, I think it's safe to say that I should uninstall the AMD Radeon drivers.

No probably about it, no AMD graphics then it is not needed. Can use this to get rid of it,

AMD Cleanup Utility to Remove AMD Driver Files | AMD

actually does a better job than DDU. Seeing as it is still showing in Add/Remove Programs it would be a safe bet that you didn't uninstall it before putting in the Nvidia card.

And you would be correct.

There hasn't been an AMD motherboard with integrated graphics on it since the old AM3/AM3+ days. Everything since then has been an APU of some kind.

Thanks for the info and link to the Cleanup Utility, Stormy. Much appreciated, and with youse guys' help, I'm gonna get rid of that silly message that pops up every time I boot to my Production partition!

Looking at your specs, your MB has integrated AMD Radeon graphics.

This is the link for the HP-8433 Sunflower MB.

Thanks, Jim! But it looks like @stormy13 is correct.

I've been to that link before, which is where I got my upgrade info. With further investigation, here's what I've come up with from HP Support:

How many displays does the sunflower motherboard support?
Multi display support: 4 displays, up to 6. Full multi display support might require an active adapter. The Sunflower motherboard does not support integrated graphics. The motherboard supports 5.1 surround sound.
