Re: changed my G-6 from windows 8 to windows 7 ultimate and have many drivers missing now

You're very welcome, Bill.

Here is what you need to do to get everything to work...

First, install the AMD chipset driver and reboot. You want the first driver listed on the webpage.

That should install the smbus and usb3 controllers.

Then you can use all of the drivers and software from this g7 model on yours except the wireless.

DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE DOWNLOADS FROM THIS MODEL
