Go here. Make sure it is on Windows 8 64bit.
Reinstall the two Chipset drivers. Restart the system when done.
Then go back to that page and open Video and install our AMD WHQL driver. Restart the system when done.

I did not see Catalyst Control Center when right-click
maybe I did not install the right driver?
Can you recommend the correct driver?
Thanks.

Did you recently reinstall the OS? Is this a Dell computer?

Yes, it's a Dell XPS 8700
I did use the recovery disk once to reset the system after I setup a wrong user account.
Maybe the recovery disk is missing something?
