Display adapter mis-identified - leads to BSOD

[yingdat]

I upgraded an AMD APU A8-5600K (CPU+GPU combo) based system from Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 to Windows 10 Pro. It BSOD'ed with the dreaded SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Since there is no Windows 10 driver for A8-5600K, I installed a graphic card based on AMD Radeon HD6570, for which a Windows 10 driver is available. In Windows 7, the system correctly identifies it and all goes on well. But the exact same problem happens when I re-installed Windows 10.

When I boot 10 into Safe Mode, I found the Radeon HD6570 was identified as AMD Radeon HD 7500/7600 Series. Also, the Windows 10 driver for the correct adapter (amd-catalyst-15.7.1-win10-64bit.exe, which I had downloaded earlier) would not install in Safe Mode. So I am really stuck.

Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

On how to install only the drivers and avoid the whole CCC mess.
See if you can perhaps use that technique to overcome your issue with that driver.
Even if you have to use another computer to extract the drivers and capture the folder onto a thumbdrive or DVD to get the job done.
