Question AMD driver not working right HELP!

[Andyme177]

If anyone can walk me through how to fix this issue my system and I would appreciate it greatly!

Current problem I am stuck on how to get rid of the your driver is not installed or functioning properly message I get from AMD catalyst program.

I have screen shot of the exact message but don't have a website to put it on to show it here.

2GB AMD ATI Radeon HD 7450 VGA HDMI DVI PCI-E Video Card US Fast Shipping
$55.99

First let me tell you about the fiasco fake card. I bought a supposed GTX 1050 Ti off another person put it in and it worked just fine. I'm not running any high demand anything just average internet browsing. First thing that happened was Nvidia released a new driver which just would not work with the card. Then I did some checking and found out there are a ton of these fakes out there. I ran hardwareinfo and sure enough it's a fake. It was a 1GB 450 that has the firmware monkeyed with. So I took out that card after getting a different card from walmart.com of all places. I am saving up for a gaming card but for now just need usable computer.

The fake card worked better than the new one is with the driver that came with it which I'm sure is somehow altered as well and I hope I got it off my computer fully.

could it be there is something on my computer preventing the good card from working right that got there from the software with the fake.

To my knowledge I uninstalled the nvidia drivers but I'm not sure if because it was some fakery there isn't something lingering on the computer still that might be preventing the new cards software from installing right. it doesn't give me an error message during install I run the autorun on the CD rom select windows 10 64 bit computer asks if I trust the install I say yes AMD install manager extracts the catalyst software load bar all that jazz happens some game adds display as it scrolls along message pops up says installation complete (warnings occured during install view logs so I view the logs the error message section is cut off or blank I can only see the section header that says error messages.

then after all said and done I get the warning message my driver is not installed or working properly

I went to the AMD website and downloaded the driver released in 2017 for my card and still get that popup error message

I am interested in how you managed to download a 2017 driver for a card that had its support end in 2015. There is a newer beta driver dated 2016 but I would not recommend it as it was the very first Crimson driver. Honestly if you don't need the Catalyst Control Panel then the same driver provided by WindowsUpdate works just as well.

If you install a later driver that's too new to support the card, then installation error messages can only be expected.

I installed the driver from the CD that came with and even that gives the error message

so given the specs of the system what card do you all recommend?

latest windows 10?
malware scan the system?
on the latest motherboard bios?
test with just 1 ram kit and not mixing 2 kit?
