I guess that is the problem, yes? ... No. The A4-6300 is an old Richland APU with VLIW4/Northern Islands and NOT Sea Islands. It was released July 2013 and should work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_8000_Series#Richland_.28HD_8xxxD.29_series The HD numbers are just marketing names. In the Radeon HD 8xxx series you will find 4 generations: Evergreen, Northern Islands, Southern Islands and Sea Islands!
