I have a HIS Radeon HD 7770 Ghz Edition that runs fine in one PC but wont run right in another
Runs Perfect in my nicer PC but seems to have driver issues on the other Ive been working on it for 3 days now
I have just Reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on both PCs again today
the HD 7770 runs fine in my Custom Rig with catalyst 14.4 I tested with Heaven Benchmark/3D mark/Crysis 1 64Bit GPU Benchmark/ and about an hour on Bioshock Infinite at Max settings 1600x900 with no problems
(temps were in the high 60 to low 70.C
Fails to install the same driver on the other PC, it wont install anything from catalyst 12.2 -13.4 or anything after 13.12-14.4
and both 13.9 and 13.12 blue screen and restart the PC within moments of starting any game 3D mark or Heaven Benchmark
or anything that utilizes the GPU, this PC has been running a old HD 4850 just fine till i upgraded it last week
so i started trying to eliminate the possibilities i switched the PSU with a known working unit without any change
i ran prime 95 and Memtestx86 and Windows Memory Diagnostic no issues
so then i installed Vista Ultimate 32bit it has the same problems with catalyst 12.2-13.9 (vista is only supported up to catalyst 13.12)
the only one that would install was 13.12 and again it crashed immediately
only thing i can think of is maybe its a Chip-set driver problem or maybe mobo BIOS (ill start looking into that next)
I'm using Win 7s default chip-set driver and have never flashed the BIOS on the Dell
if there's any info you need that i forgot I'm sorry just ask me what you need to know and ill answer the best i can
