(PC) BATTLEFRONT WONT START - AMD DRIVER DETECTION VERSION 0.0

Every time I try and launch Star Wars Battlefront (which i installed from disc) in origin, I have a message "Please update your AMD Radeon driver" come up which says

"Detected AMD Radeon driver version 0.0. The required driver version is 13.251 or later. Please update your drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing the game." (picture of this is attached)

I am guessing this is an error in how origin detects my AMD driver because I have the latest drivers installed (15.20.xxx something). I am running windows 10 64-bit with an R9 390 with a 3440x1440 monitor. I have tried the following to fix it:

- uninstalling all components related to my graphics driver (CCC, AMD gaming evolved, etc) and reinstalling them (tried newest and slightly older versions)

- uninstalling origin and reinstalling it

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the problem in Bios. I'm using an AMD A-10 7850k with a dedicated graphics card even though I'm not using the onboard graphics chip Star Wars Battlefront thought I was using dual graphics and was trying to boot up using the onboard chip instead of the R9 270x, I think that's why it was giving me a driver error of 0.0. So I went into Bios and found that I had the onboard Graphics set to Auto I then set it to Disabled then loaded up win 10 and the device manager, it showed only the R9 270x when before it showed the R7-250 and the R9-270x.Then I loaded up the game and it worked perfectly. Crazy right ? If you can pass this fix along It would be awesome for the people that are getting this error Thanks

I'm having the same exact issue and can find no help on it.
Windows 10 x64
CPU: Opteron 2.7 Quad Core
Mobo: SuperMicro H8-SMI2
Ram: 7 gigs DDR3
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6970
GPU Drivers: Latest 15.11.1 beta drivers.
Storage: 256gig SSD
1terrabyte 7200 RPM HD
I've repaired the game, uninstalled/reinstalled the game and origin. Completely removed all GPU drivers, installed new and older revisions of the drivers. Tried running the game in -novid -windowed -noborder modes.
Also, the game ran fine in BETA.

When completely removing all graphics drivers you might want to do a clean uninstall by running Display Driver Uninstaller http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

from safe mode to make sure it's all gone before installing the 15.12 driver.

Each time a PC is running its POST procedures at startup, it offers to let you open the BIOS by pressing a key before the POST is completed. You may have to be really quick to press that key.

I'm also having this problem, except it's saying my NVidia drive is out of date. I don't HAVE NVidia. I have AMD.
