Hello.
I've been trying for the past month on and off to update my display driver.
When I download it and run the suite, it'll start for a bit then vanish instantly. A few seconds later Windows will shove that message about the program wasn't running correctly in my face.
Now, what I'd do is go to device manager and uninstall the driver and see if it works. The problem, however, is I believe my motherboard doesn't have any on-board graphics chip. Then it's a bad idea to uninstall my video card driver, right?
Here have my specs:

I couldn't seem to dig up any information as to whether or not my motherboard has a graphics chip on-board, but please tell me if this doesn't matter.
I tried to update via Steam, but no success either.
Download drive sweeper and get rid of your old driver.
Then download and instal the new driver.
If you have no drives windows uses it own driver (which is horrible) but more then enough to be able to instal the ati driver.
I'm still having this problem. I can't find a solution anywhere. It just won't fucking install.
Your motherboard does not have an integrated graphic chip. If you uninstall your video driver, I'd presume windows would just use the default driver for your video card, so you're safe.
Try to do the following:
[list=1]
[*]Run [url=http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/]Driver Sweeper[/url] and remove all video drivers, then download [url=http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard]CCleaner[/url] and install it.
[*]Restart computer and go into safe mode.
[*]Run CCleaner. Analyse and run the cleaner, then scan for and fix registry issues.
[*]Download and install the latest drivers for your video card.
[/list]
(To my knowledge the Core i7 has an integrated graphic and memory controller. I'm not too certain though if it could run independently with that motherboard if there is no video card inserted.)
