First post & haven't built a system in 11 years, many cobwebs to shack out. The build went great and I loaded the latest version of Windows 10 pro (fully updated). I downloaded the latest AMD Graphics Drivers recommended for my CPU (AMD Auto Detect) and received the following message after loading the drivers - "RadeonSoftware.exe - Bad Image c:\Windows\SYSTEM32\atiadlxx.dll is either not designed to run Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again [I did and failed] etc., etc. Error status 0xc000012f.
Some of my build details - all installed yesterday:
- CPU - Ryzen 7 5700G
- MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk
- Samsung 980 NVME SSD
- 32gb RAM
- Windows 10 Pro (21H1, build 19043.1165)
- BIOS: 7C91vA81
- Chipset Driver: 3.08.17.735
- AMD Graphics Adrenalin 21.6.1 (WHQL) - attempted
I'm not sure how to go forward from here. Should I try the 21.8.2 drivers - even though they are considered "optional"? The release notes do not make mention on this error/fix though. I have run into no other errors. In the meantime, the Windows Graphics Driver seems to be running just fine - but who wants to use the Windows driver?
Full disclosure - I'm 58 and my 23yr old son says the community boards are where the answers are at and that the community will be kind to a builder with basic skills.
Please point me in the right direction! Thx
