PLEASE HELP: amd driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered

blook · Apr 18, 2013

Can anyone help me.. I put together a pc and I have very little experience wit building. Everything seems good except when I downloaded the drivers for my graphics card it hangs for a second then goes to a black screen and i get the message "amd driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" this happens when i do any simple task like opening a search engine. I believe everything is connected correctly and I have already re installed windows and still the same thing. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO : (

SPECS:

PSU CORSAIR| HX750 750W RT

CPU INTEL|CORE I5 3570K 3.4G 6M R

HDD 1T|WD WD10EZEX SATA6G

Does this happen in safe mode? Try to boot to safe mode and test. Otherwise you can try to manually update drivers through device manager and see if it finds anything. Or, make sure you get latest drivers online, the CD ones get outdated very quickly.

Sk8er88, of course it's not going to happen in safe mode - drivers aren't loaded in safe mode.

That being said, OP, you need to completely uninstall your drivers and install new ones. If that doesn't work, we'll look at the possibility of there being an issue with the card. (Powercolor isn't the most reliable brand out there.)

No this problem does not happen when booted in safe mode. I' ve also tried uninstalling the old drivers and getting at lest 3 different versions all with the same problem. Thank you both for the reply.

AMD's drivers can be kind of finicky. Grab a driver from a few months ago, doing a completely clean driver install, and see if that helps.

Make sure you don't have video drivers for anything else installed first.

hmm thank you all for the replies and dark sable i did try that, tried quite a few different drivers... didnt work though : (. I'm not sure how to close this as I just sent the card back and going to buy a 670.

DarkSable · Apr 19, 2013

Leave it open then - a mod will close it.

You should be happy with a 670 - I'm sorry that the 7950 wasn't working right for you.
