Hello everyone, I have been having a problem for the past week when trying to update my AMD display drivers.
I decided that I wanted to update to the new 14.2 Beta drivers to see what improvement there were in battlefield 4 and I have just bought thief too and so I wanted to have a bit better performance with the new drivers installed. I should also mention that I was previously on the 14.1 Beta drivers before this and a day or two before i decided to upgrade i got some red and blue pixels show up when playing a game. I have had this before and last time it happened it meant that my drivers were corrupt and I should re install them. SO while I was upgrading I decided to update to newest drivers as well.
Anyway I uninstalled the old drivers rebooted and then went into safe mode to use driver sweeper to make sure all the drivers were completely uninstalled. So once I had done this I rebooted again and tried to install the 14.2 drivers, however when installing it was working perfectly until it went to install the actual driver itself. this was when it flickered once like normal and then gave me a blackscreen just like my monitor was off but my monitor was still on(green light was still on, also means there is still a display being received from PC). I gave it about 20 minutes to see if it would display anything again but it never did, so i rebooted my PC and it loaded fine however nothing was installed not even the catalyst suite or anything from the AMD installer.
I checked to see if I could find an answer online and found a few possible solutions so i tried them all, including turning off my PC and draining power then restarting and also a few other solutions such as re-installing chipset drivers as i saw that driver sweeper can delete necessary files. None worked and I have also recently just clean installed windows again but still no success.
I now don't know what it could be, apart from being an hardware issue.
My specs are as follows:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX 6300
GPU: ASUS AMD Radeon HD 7950 DirectCU II
RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX Black @ 1600MHz
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
PSU: Corsair CS650M 80+ Gold
My power supply is only 3 months old and i bought it new last year just after Christmas.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it greatly.
EDIT: I forgot to say that everything works perfectly on the Microsoft basic display drivers and also it worked perfectly for 3 months before the drivers became corrupt a week ago.
