I got my bios updae and installed the lastest. yesterday i took the 3 hours to install the win update tryed it with a driver and same thing. even went to down a MoBo bios and still, same ting
why does the SM bus controller yellow in device manager too??

also, note, the drivers install fine. then when i reboot its BSOD

swifty_morgan · Sep 20, 2014

did you run that app I posted a link for?

DexxMann · Sep 20, 2014

I have the right drivers I mean everything loads up, it is when I have the HD 8570D driver for my APU installed. windows loads to the logo screen, then goes black, and windows still loads to desktop, ( I hear it) and the monitor is black, then blue with (HDMI no signal) then goes on stand by, on to black screen, then blue and repeats..

swifty_morgan · Sep 20, 2014

you might have to check the BIOS. also try moving the cable around/testing connections/trying another/maybe another monitor........ .......... did you run the app I posted above? i wouldn't have posted it if I didn't think it might help.

DexxMann · Sep 21, 2014

Yes I did try that, it have me the same drivers I got off the amd site. ive installed almost every driver compatible The HD 8570D installs, but loose signal from HDMI, windows loads to desk top. uninstall that driver and ATI installs a VGA standard 6.0 driver. I still can see 1080 res. but don't think its how it should be

swifty_morgan · Sep 21, 2014

what about the bus driver?........ did you install anything after that app found stuff?

is this monitor a tv or a monitor?...... you may need to open the CCC and find the tv and enable.......

DexxMann · Sep 21, 2014

I fixed bus driver. the chipset driver from mothr board site, takes care of everything. AMD had updated drivers. regaurdless of driver. when the display driver is installed (HD 8570D) is when I get the black screen on start up.
and this is an asus 1080 monitor

is it blurry or is there stuttering? did you check the refresh rate. is the apu getting cooled properly? you installed everything from windows updates after the opsystem install?

device manager/uninstall the graphics drivers and reboot. let windows re-find it. ( display adapter/uninstall )

DexxMann · Sep 22, 2014

Yes win update. refresh rate says, use hardware default settings. . not blurry or shutter, but I get little red dots / speckle in the darker places, like in videos I ran prime , got to 105c after 10 mins. seems to idle at 48-51c. browsing goes to 68-71c some times 75-80c and yes I do uninstall the driver. and it installs the standard VGA driver

pull the heat sink off the processor. clean up the old paste and reapply some new paste. properly reinstall the heat sink and fan. it's way too hot.

next thing i would suggest is a new and better heat sink and fan. maybe a 212 evo by coolermaster..??

DexxMann · Sep 22, 2014

this is the one I bought and have on it
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835214023

but my friend said it would be better , since my case has 3 fan, 1 rear, 2 front. to take the rear fan off and put it on the heat sink and have a push pull config.. the push fan is about 6 inches away from the rear fan hole... bad idea?

swifty_morgan · Sep 22, 2014

did you put any thermal paste on it before you installed it?

and is the fan hooked to the cpu header on the board?

the fans.......... the front ones should be blowing (sucking) air in, the rear fans and the cpu fan should be blowing towards the back and out of the case.

DexxMann · Sep 22, 2014

I had a friend help me, he has built gaming pc, yes everything is blowing toward the back hole. yes, paste too. pea size

swifty_morgan · Sep 22, 2014

i use more than a pea and I spread it out before putting the heat sink on.

did you try resetting the cmos? perhaps the voltages are a little high for some reason.

DexxMann · Sep 22, 2014

yes I called asus, cuz think it is mother board. they told me to reset it, I did,, it did nothing. aslo I just downloaded amd overdrive. installed it and when open it . it initializes and then crashes my pc, restarts into safe mode opetion, I start normal boots normal.

DexxMann · Nov 6, 2014

UPdate after They sent me a new motherboard, built it again, got it running, using the HDMI cable. still the same thing. So i used the HDMI out of Monitor and DVI into computer. EVERYTHINGS PERFECT NOW> imagine that. dunno why the HDMI dont work on both ends.
overclocked CPU to 4.4 overclocked the GPU to 1013mhz...
played SWTOR on HIGH setting for about 4 hours, no probs at all. runs smooth. ONLY problem is, when i try to run AMD Overdrive, it crashes my PC. now i just would like to find the true temp of my APU.
