I just upgraded from 7 to windows 8

I am frustrated, I am still trying to fix this problem.. I don't know how to fix it, but base on my research it says that the problem is the GPU drivers, and I found out that when I install remove my GPU I don't get blackscreens, but as soon as I open the drivers I get black screen, any fix ?

nah working fine now, I just installed the drivers again, I used the latest BETA drivers from AMD, so far so good, when I installed it, my pc received the blackscreen and I restarted it, now the blackscreen is gone, I do not know what caused it so I am still gonna find out, incase that happens again. I hope that it doesn't happen again..


edit :
gonna shutdown my PC again and lets see if the blackscreen is gone ...

edit again :

yep its done.. blackscreen is gone, finally I can now play BF4...

My build :

intel core i5 3470
4GB kingston
amd hd 5570
500GB HDD

yes, after I installed win 8, I installed drivers then restarted, works good. but today when I opened my PC, it won'te let me through the login screen I see blackscreen and only a movable mouse cursor, nothing else. thats when I decided to remove my GPU and tried again, and search the online for help. and after 7 hours of trying to fix this, i am now here.

Its custom build, I haven't updated the drivers, I just did a fresh install of windows 8 installed all the latest drivers.

shutdown to sleep, wake up, open the PC and boom. blackscreen with only a movable mouse, they say its the GPU driver conflicting with win 8 cause win 8 is installing its own display drivers, I am using this PC but there is no display drivers... if I install the AMD drivers I would get the blackscreen and remove the GPU again just to uninstall the drivers. and btw when I uninstall the AMD drivers a new display driver comes up : microsoft basic drivers (something like that.. )
