10159 / 10162 - AMD APU drivers? Anyone else have issues?

[Chris Phelps]

One of the laptops I am running W10 on has an AMD A8-4500M APU with 7640G / 7600M Graphics. With build 10130, I saw some stability issues (crashing and recovering) during gaming, but the update in the catalyst from 15.5 to 15.6 fixed the crashes. However, since the update to build 10158, the graphics drivers are back to randomly crashing and recovering.

Just curious... is anyone else seeing these same issues? Possibility of a way to temporarily fix it until AMD (or MS) has a chance to fix it?

I used 10158 for about 6 hours seems fine.
Now I'm running 10162, can't give results

Huh. Must be a problem unique to this laptop then. Thanks.

It's just the build. I had a similar issue with an Alienware PC with an NVIDIA GPU on 1005x and on top of that couldn't update so had to rollback to 8.1 and all was fine again although I had to reinstall all the system drivers. 10074 also had a similar effect on my tablet where all the system (inlcuding touch) drivers were gone but upgrading fixed this and then had to reinstall all system drivers from the manufacturer.
Your call - either roll back to the previous build if you can or wait it out a few days or so for the next build and hope for the best

I'll wait it out. Preview or beta software is never expected to be bug free.

I do think I'm going to try reinstalling the driver though.

It probably won't even let you reinstall the video drivers anyway. On my PC it would come back as the drivers being current but updating would result in an error where the device couldn't be found or some such so it'll be temporary

I reinstalled the drivers fine. Updated to 10162... It immediately prompted me to install updated drivers. I have yet to be able to test.
