Windows 8.1 AMD Graphics Drivers (Not Working)

Had the same exact issue - I went to AMD site and downloaded the latest catalyst mobility utility. The utility identified a new CCC version and I downloaded that. No problems since.
 
I have an HP Pavilion DV6.

HD 6770M Radeon
 
The error code for my Radeon 6700M Series in device manager is:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

I have HP too, never had problem with using that utility. When I googled for a solution, I see it is a common problem with win 8.1

Hope someone comes along with a solution for you.

Thanks :)
 
I am thinking perhaps this is a problem according to the website:

The following notebooks are not compatible with this tool:
Notebooks equipped with switchable graphics
 
I've managed to get the device to respond at-least (no problems in device manager), however there are still issues launching 3D applications.

I believe it's directly linked to the "switching graphics" cards.
 
OP, check your power-saving options. There are a plethora of settings, including GFX - mine defaulted to 'balanced' after upgrade iso 'high performance' when plugged-in.
 
I finally resolved the problem. :) Windows 8.1 working well with the AMD Radeon and graphics switching.

Please post the solution, some of the guys in the office were complaining about this earlier today
 
Have you tried to wipe the current drivers then download and run the latest one?
 
I removed all drivers associated with AMD and installed a HP AMD driver which I found after a million driver searches.

Moral of the story is the drivers on AMD site didn't work for me, only a newer version of the HP AMD driver that worked on Win 8 originally.

I will check which one I got and post it.
