ATI 7970 Problem

NIK1 · Sep 15, 2014

Today I installed a new water cooler in my pc and after putting everything back together and rebooted back to desktop windows installed drivers.When I checked in device manager it installed standard vga adapter. It also showed my ati Radeon hd 7900 driver that was always there. I uninstalled the vga driver but when I reboot windows keeps installing it back. In my sabertooth z77 bios it was always set to pci for display. I did remove the card to make it easier to install the new swiftech water cooler. For the life of me I can not figure out why the vga adapter keeps installing after reboot. I did notice now in the bios there is a IGPU max frequency setting that was never there before that can not be disabled.Anyone have any ideas for I am stumped.

Try a fresh install of the Catalyst driver using DDU.

1. Download DDU in the internet just search for it.
2. Run DDU in safe mode.
3. Uninstall GPU in the Device manager.
4. Run CC cleaner to clean files.
5. Run CC cleaner to fix registry.
6. Reinstall Catalyst drivers (latest).

Hope it works.

Thanks for the info. I did what you suggested, and every time it shows 2 standard vga adapters in device manager. Even after installing ati 14.4 display drivers the standard vga adapter is still there along with the new ati drivers after reboot.

As what you can observe in the step 3, Uninstall the GPU drivers. Have you done this?

I do not see gpu drivers just standard vga adapter. Where would the gpu drivers be. Its not under the display listing in device manager.

I wonder if this caused the problem.After I installed the new water cpu water cooler and put the graphics card back in I did not have the power wires hooked up. When I first turned the pc on there was no display on the monitor so I shut down and reopened the case to see the power wires not plugged in.I hooked up the wires and turned the pc on and that's wen it installed the standard vga adapter with the ati Radeon drivers that where always there.

VGA= Video graphics array (this is a type of connection)
GPU= Graphics processing unit

I think what you mean of VGA is the GPU. AMD 7970 is a GPU.

Why do you think it shows 2 things there standard vga adapter and Radeon hd 7900.It was never there before. It all started when booting up with graphics card in the pci slot but with no power wires connected.Plus now in the bios I have IGPU settings in the overclocking section that was not there before.

Yes you have 2 GPU`s. The iGPU and the dGPU.
You don`t have problem there.

Thanks for the help. I reflashed the bios and now it only shows the normal ati Radeon hd graphics driver listing in device manager.
