ATI Radeon 4670 AGP (Powercolor) + Windows 7 Driver Problem (43)

[isostar23]

Hi Peps,

I got a problem with my GPU, i tried diffrent drivers to get it run but Device manager is returning me always error code 43, i will explain what i tried so far.
First of all my OS is Windows 7 X64, my graphic card is an ATI Powercolor Radeon HD4670 AGP 1GB,
the first thing i did was to take a look at my Bios, AGP is set to 8x and aperture size to max 512MB, i went to the offical PowerColor Site and downloaded the latest driver there which was Catalyst 10.3 Version 8.712, this one didn´t work, then i removed this one from my system and installed the latest one on the offical AMD page, Catalyst 13.9 Display Driver 8.97.100.11, also no luck at all, still that code 43 error. I uninstalled this one and installed 3DP Chip to scan for drivers and it pointed me to another driver with an AGP Fix, i also tried this one but nothing again, i need to say that the card is working fine on a Windows XP system so im sure the card is not broken. It is defenetly a driver problem, i would apreciate if someone could point me to the correct driver or help me out.

Thanks,

Daniel

You need to do a CLEAN install, requiring removal of all bits and pieces of old drivers. Just removing the installation isn't usually good enough. Do a clean driver install according to the instructions in the CLEAN drivers section at the following link:

Hi Darkbreeze,

Thanks for repsonding, after a little bit of researchn i think my problem here is that my Motherboard has nforce3 chip and 4 core cpu which it is not compatible with AGP and Win 7 or 8, so i think im stuck and if i want to run all together i need to go back to XP. Or is there any hack for this?

AGP cards ARE supported in Windows 7 and 8, if you get compatible drivers. You might check out this thread, which has some similarities.
