AMD Graphics Card Drivers Break Computer

th3walker · Feb 27, 2014

My AMD R7 2xx sieres graphics card is encountering problems with its drivers. The card works awsome but my problem is that the drivers cause windows to go to the starting windows screen and then goes to black, when I disable the drivers in safe mode it works fine but I need the drivers to play games and i have to reboot to reactive the drivers which starts the problem over again. I have tried using the AMD auto-detector but im not sure if its working right. I could really use some help

Boot in Safe mode. Remove ALL video drivers, including any older ones. A program like CCleaner (free) may be used to remove any last vestiges of them. Reboot using standard VGA drivers. Download the latest Catalyst from AMD.COM and re-install.

In safe mode go to control panel, select and click device manager, look for the display, under display uninstall the gpu(display driver), reboot the PC. BTW what is the manufacturer of your GPU?(MSI, ASUS, XFX, Gigabyte etc)? If you have a laptop or another desktop PC, download and save the latest driver from the manufacturer's website using a USB drive and install it to your PC. I hope it will solve your problem.

Open your PC case clear the CMOS, it could be a jumper or button. Turn on your PC, Clean install windows, update the gpu driver to the latest.

I have been giving some wrong information and I am very sorry I just relized.

The type of RAM on the graphics card is unrelated to what is on the motherboard. Any gaming graphics card should ALWAYS be made with GDDR5; DDR3 versions will be poorly-performing abominations.

Please read this forum about the issues of this GPU, you are not alone: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1855004/xfx-amd-260x-freezing-issues.html#.

You can still RMA that GPU and exchange it with different brand or model.
