My Radeon Graphics card has a problem. I recently tried the new beta drivers. After using them my system changed from AMD 7770 to R7 200 Series... this causes my system to crash when the monitor and computer is asleep. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change it back so it won't crash.
Thanks
Edit:So I actually figured out that it was just the beta drivers crashing my system... It's normal for it to be displayed as r7 2xx because the 7770 is the same as a r7 250x.

You shouldn't install beta drivers - - they are for testing purposes only, to reveal and report any bugs to the manufacturer so that the bugs can be fixed before final release.

Go into Device Manager.
Double-click your Radeon GPU.
Click the "Driver" tab.
Click "Roll back driver"

In any event, you should never update any driver if existing one is working okay - - leave it alone.
Updating a driver simply because a newer version is available is not a wise policy, it's not compulsory!

If you want to test a beta driver for bug reporting, test it on a spare PC. No spare PC? then beta drivers are not for you unless you have a full system recovery strategy in place.

When I go there the roll back driver tab is grayed out... meaning I can't click it.
