Radeon RX Vega M GL driver update fails (Intel Core i7-8795G) con't

TechmeQs — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 13:29:25 GMT

Using Windows 11, latest updates,

After following instructions from a previous thread , I was able to install the graphics driver. However, this method does not update the actual Radeon Software app.

>The issue is the app launches multiple copies of itself.

When i try to install the update from the intel website, I receive the error message in the screen shot.

My PC OEM manufacturer (HP) instructs to use the intel software, as they have stopped providing updates to this graphics chip back in 2019.

My second issue is the red number one update notification that appears over the Intel Driver and Support assistant icon in taskbar menu.

Further, I've been experiencing system crashes lately while using graphics heavy apps and i suspect this discrepancy may be to blame.

Hello TechmeQs,

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.

Based on our release notes for the driver version 30.0.13037.4001, it states that the driver package contains improvements update on AMD Radeon Software for user experience. So we want to confirm if you follow the driver installation steps provided on the previous thread you visited:

Download and save the .zip file from Download Center: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19282/radeon-rx-vega-m-graphics.html
Go to where the .zip file is saved and unzip it.
Open the Device Manager:
- Windows 11*/10*: Right-click the Windows Start button. Select Device Manager.
Expand the Display adapters section.
Right-click the Radeon RX Vega M GL Graphics.
Select Update driver.
Click Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Click Have Disk.
Click Browse. Select the location where the driver files are located. The target .inf can be found within the driver folder in Packages > Drivers > Display > WT6A_INF > U0374970.inf
Click Next. Drivers are being installed.
Reboot the computer when prompted.

However, you must consider that using the Have-Disk method bypasses the installer designed to install the drivers, thereby possibly resulting in minor to catastrophic issues on your system and system instability. We recommend only using the Installer (.exe).

Best regards,

Jean O.

Hello Jean O.,

Some background: when the update was first released, i experienced the same issues as user FIRDAUS posted about in the thread i linked to above.

I followed the instructions in that thread, which led to being able to install just the graphics portion of the driver, using the method as you outlined in your instructions from your last post above. "Click Browse. Select the location where the driver files are located. The target .inf can be found within the driver folder in Packages > Drivers > Display > WT6A_INF > U0374970.inf"

This solution seems to no longer work as properly, because my system crashes using graphics intensive applications. Sometimes i can notice the memory issues and close the program before the system crashes. Then i notice the Radeon Software app has duplicated itself, sometimes multiple times.

So I tried to install the graphics update using Intel Driver and Support assistant and using the download and run the executable install file methods. This install fails both ways, and results in the failure message that I screenshot and attached to my original post.

Thank You

I want to edit to clarify that yes i used the have disk method to install just the graphics driver portion, but i want to reiterate that the Radeon Graphics app itself, because the Intel Driver and Support assistant retains a red number one alert indicating the driver needs to be updated.

I've attached screenshots of the drivers listed in the Radeon Software App.

@TechmeQs Install the driver found here:

I just notice an error in the title of this thread.

My system has installed, and my issue is with, the intel i7-8705G not i7-8795G.

Aside from that, the NUK drivers do not seem to function properly on this system.

What is the complete model number of your NUC?

Hello TechmeQs,

Thanks for waiting for a response.

To continue with my investigation, I want to confirm some information:

What are the apps crashing? Do we have any errors on the apps crashing? by crashing, do you mean that error messages are popping up?
Can you provide me with a video showing the crashing problems and app issues?
You previously mentioned that your system's manufacturer was HP; however, you stated that you are using Nuc drivers. Could you try to create a report using the Intel®️ System Support Utility (Intel®️ SSU)? It will provide us with the model of your system as well as other environmental information such as the Operating System and drivers versions:
- Download the Intel SSU (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18377/25293/intel-system-support-utility-for-windows.html)
- Open the application and click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel®️ SSU will take you to the "Summary View."
- Click on the menu where it says: "Summary" to change it to "Detailed View."
- To save your scan: click on "Next"; then "Save."

Best regards,

i don't have a nuc... that's why the nuc drivers don't work on my machine.

Re: Radeon RX Vega M GL driver update fails (Intel Core i7-8795G) con't

AlHill — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 18:33:20 GMT

Then, why are you trying "NUC" drivers?

Provide the model number of your system/motherboard.

Have you tried the drivers provided by the system/motherboard manufacturer?

Have you updated their bios?

STEAM and Chrome have been randomly freezing up my machine. No i/o input recognized when they freeze. Requires hard reboot by holding power button. It's unclear if this is a memory spike issue, or a graphics issue. It's not a networking speed issue.

Sorry for all the confusion my typos are causing. I am not using the NUC drivers. I've attached the intel SSU scan as requested.

TechmeQs — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 18:45:21 GMT

I've provided system information below. I tried the NUC driver's at one point as a test, because this CPU / GPU combo chip was released in a NUC machine at retail at one point. I attempted this test out of curiosity when the proper driver updates failed. (This latest radeon graphiccs driver for the intel i7-8705G was released in december 2021, btw, so there's been plenty of time for me to try to find a solution on my own.)

My bios is updated with the latest release from HP.

HP does not provide updated graphics drivers for this CPU/GPU combo chip.

Use BOTH the intel and amd drivers as provided by HP, not the intel generic driver. If you still have problems after installing both HP drivers, contact HP for support.

As i wrote, HP does not provide these drivers

TechmeQs — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 18:53:41 GMT

To clarify,

As you can see from the screen shot attached, the last driver update HP provided was 2018. This version no longer works with the rest of the windows, intel, and 3rd party app updates that have been released since then.

Re: Re:Radeon RX Vega M GL driver update fails (Intel Core i7-8795G) con't

AlHill — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 18:58:56 GMT

HP provided the original drivers for your device. I am not talking about updated drivers.

Use both original drivers as provided by HP. I just checked, and BOTH are there.

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-spectre-15-ch000-x360-convertible-pc/16779588

Also, HP does not support W11 on your device.

My friend, i think you have gotten off topic.

I don't have an issue installing HP drivers.

My issue is with installing the radeon software driver updates Intel released for this chip.

Re: Re:Radeon RX Vega M GL driver update fails (Intel Core i7-8795G) con't

AlHill — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 19:30:40 GMT

No, not off topic. HP is responsible for support of your device, not Intel.

Additionally, your processor is no longer supported.

The intel update i'm referring to was released in December 2021, see screenshot attached. This update was faulty from its initial release. There are other threads documenting this fault besides my own. I even linked to one in my initial post.

The page you sent shows the manufacturing of the chip is now discontinued, but it does not say support has. Your profile indicates you are not an Intel employee, so how would you come to know about the support schedule?
