I just finished putting together my first build, and ran into an issue. Once my graphics card drivers were loaded, the system will not restart.
From completely off, it boots fine, on restart from Windows or from UEFI, it loads Windows up to the logo, and stops. With the drivers provided with the card, the Windows logo will stay and continue to pulsate, with the latest AMD drivers, it goes to a black screen. With standard Microsoft drivers, it boots fine.
I have read about various driver issues with these cards, but haven't found any substantial fixes. I have had no issues with actual display, and no freezes once booted, granted I don't game, but goes through benchmarks without an issue.
Memory passes Memtest(plan on running it through the night tonight)
PSU 12v displays 12.046V, will check with DVOM tomorrow to verify.
I know the CPU is a limiting factor here(waiting on 8350 to arrive), but I don't think that is the issue, but I'm new at this.
I don't feel the card is bad, as it seems to function fine. Are there any solutions for the drivers? I know I read about setting the 2d clock speed, but wasn't able to find the setting for it. Is that an actual fix?
