Recently, I decided to switch to a new graphics card. I purchased an ATI Radeon R7 260X. I installed the card, replacing my prior Nvidia card. Now, when I try to log into Windows (normal mode) the monitor only displays a purple lined dimly flashing screen.
I have suspected that this is due to a driver issue, and so I have tried to install the appropriate drivers via Safe Mode, which loads the display correctly -- but ATI Catalyst fails to load detection drivers and so no ATI drivers can be installed. I have read elsewhere that you cannot install drivers in safe mode and that this is the reason why the driver install fails in this case.
I can't install them in normal mode though because the screen just doesn't load, just displays the purplish lines.
I am running Windows 8.1. The monitor I have is an Acer H243H. I am connecting them with an HDMI cable. I tried with a DVI also and nothing changed.
Not sure where I can go from here. Any advice?
