AMD driver issue with MSI GX 70 Destroyer

Hello,
I have an MSI GX70 Destroyer. I can't update the drivers, which prevents Windows 10 from starting and displays an error message with a "(:". I can't run games (graphics problem). I'm on an old version, maybe the only one that works (15.1). I have an AMD A10-5750M APU 2.50GHz processor and two graphics cards: AMD Radeon HD 8650G and AMD R9 M290X (AMD Radeon HD8970M).
Please, can someone help me?
Victor.

      Hello,

      It updates my driver (I have already tried) but Windows does not start and displays an error message.

      I don't really remember, but when I try to update my graphics card, it directs me to this link https://support.amd.com/fr-fr/kb-articles/Pages/KB174.aspx?DID=6801%7C990B%7C%7C&VID=1002%7C1002%7C%7C&CPU=AMD+A10-5750M+APU+with+Radeon%28tm%29+HD+Graphics&OS=WindowsRS&OSBIT=64&OSLANG=fr_FR&utm_campaign=rserror&utm_medium=application&utm_source=driver-installer&utm_content=error174%7CIM_LEGACYCARDFOUND%2F

    Oh yes, okay. Windows doesn't start at all.
    Do you have access to recovery options at any point, or not at all?

      If it crashes when I downgrade to an earlier version of my graphics card driver. My problem is that I can't run any games anymore, and my software is glitching. I desperately need to update.

      They all look like they're from 2014.
      Have you tried updating the drivers and disabling the M290?
      Just in case it's the one that's causing the crash.

      I think it’s her that crashes because she’s not recognized in the games.

    Hello

    The last functional driver is crimson 16.2.1

    Unfortunately, the latest update of Windows 10 (Creators) has made this driver incompatible.

    I faced the same issue (I have an MSI GX70 3BE with an A10 processor, 8GB DDR3,...) as you and the only solution is to revert to Windows 7 or 8 (since crimson 16.2.1 works on those).

    I looked on various forums and I don't think there are any other simple alternatives.

    Have a nice day.
