Welcome to LQ! It's a pity you've had to come with a problem, but that's what we're here for.
A quick look on the web shows that lots of people have your problem. You can get a driver for your radeon from here
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
This site might also help

It's difficult to be more helpful without knowing exactly which video device you have. |

I installed it alongside Windows 10 on a separate hard drive so i have the choice between either operating system |

Congratulations! That was a typical example of a useless error message, although not quite in the class of "Oh dear, something bad has happened."
