Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
Are you tired of getting BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH when you try to update your graphic card driver on your beast Envy ?
I have the solution !
For those want a preset of overclock config, create a short cut of AMDGPUClocktool (download here) and edit the target like this "X:\Program Files\HP GPU Clock Tool\AMDGPUClockTool.exe" -eng=599 -mem=1075" this is my High/Performance/Gaming setting, normally when it starts up, I let it automatically underclocked (put the shortcut in startup folder) at -eng=150 -mem=350

Re: Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
Please do acknowledge that if you are going to follow my steps to get the driver installed. You are experimenting it at your own risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a SYSTEM RESTORE POINT just in case !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ THIS/MUST DO BEFORE INSTALL ANY MODIFIED DRIVER:
uninstall the current driver & always install latest modded driver over the latest HP driver
(run ATI setup, uninstall everything; it won't uninstall driver, go to device manager -> uninstall the GPU driver, it will turn to stock VGA driver -> let windows update the driver-8.712)
------------------------------------------------------
I am no longer using the Envy line so I won't be able to keep up with the drivers and mod for you all, but here is a guide, if there's any question, feel free to post in this thread.
------------------------------------------------------
Last Update - DIY Guide:
1. Download the driver package
2. Unpack it and go to X:\ATI\Support\xxxxxxxx\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
3. Find the driver name starts with CHxxxxxx.inf
4. Open it with notepad
5. Find the following (underlined):
[Manufacturer] - add or replace so it has the bold parts
%ATI% = ATI.Mfg, NTamd64.6.0
[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.0] - check the section in spoiler, you only need to replace the bold lines until you see
;
; General installation section
;
Spoiler :
[r300.Mppxy] - add the bold parts
atipmdag.sys,atikmdag.sys
[AMD_Service_Inst_M9x7] - change ServiceBinary so looks like below
ServiceBinary = %12%\atipmdag.sys
[AMD_Service_Inst_Manhattan] - change ServiceBinary so looks like below
ServiceBinary = %12%\atipmdag.sys
Now scroll to the bottom until you see
Spoiler :
What you want to do is remove all the entry below ATIR300="WDDM (R300)
So the whole driver inf file ends with that line only, you can open a original ATI driver and one of my modified driver and compare.
6. Save
7. Now just install the driver, here is a guide

Re: Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
Good work! trying it now... Might be worth posting a link to this thread on the envy 15 driver thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-d...intel-104.html
I knew that it was an issue with the inf files from comparing the ati and hp 10.3 drivers, did not think about the signatures!

Re: Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
Let me know if it works. I can't spot the any improvements so far (barely play games beside iPad), but it's always beter to have it running on latest driver.
The only reason I can think of for the signature requirement is that HP wants the laptop to run on their configuration of clock

Re: Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
Didn't work mate. Tried both drivers you linked to 11.9 (8.890) and 10.8 (8.762), with test mode enabled. Followed the procedure you had set out with 8.90. BSODs with both.
Did you install the driver on top of another driver or did you start afresh (uninstalled the old driver first)? Also with 8.890 did you use DSEO to sign the two ati system files after installation?

Re: Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
I started from HP 8.712 -> 10.8(8.762) -> 11.9(8.890) . And no, I did not sign any .inf . Did you restart and see Test Mode on the bottom right corner before you update the driver (through device manager) ?
P.s : for 8.762, I did not modify anything, just updated through device manager

Re: Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.
EDIT 2: I GOT IT WORKING WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM POST 4
Cool, i'll try it that way with 8.712 first. I had it removed before i started
Yeah it was in test mode when i tried it i saw the watermark in the corner of the desktop
EDIT: Still doesn't work.... Any suggestions as to what I should try? I've had catalyst 11.4 run ok-ish in the past. Might give that a go again...
Using Windows 7 x64, Happy to accept that it could be failing due to my current windows setup... God only knows how many different driver and inf file variations I've tried on it. Has anyone else got it working?Last edited by brt02; 11th October 2011 at 04:14 PM.
