New build WIN7u updated.
Asus A88x-plus
AMD/APU A-8 6699 HD 8570D

Asus 1080 monitor.
installed normal, install any ver catalyst drivers reboot..
after windows logo, screen go black, windows still loads to desktop.
monitor looses signal...stand-by,, on to black screen. repeat, then stays on stand by.
reboot safe mode. uninstall HD 8570D display adaptor ..reboot. IT installs Standard VGA driver.
works fine, still can do 1080. but not as it should be.
AND tiny red dots appear, mostly in videos.

My recommendation. Try display driver uninstaller here: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
Reboot and reinstall using CCC 14.7 beta drivers here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Window...
If the problem persists try reinstalling the physical card and making sure it's fully locked down and all power connectors are completely seated.
Make sure video cables are firmly seated and in good condition.
If no luck, RMA APU.

yes, me and friend, hes build a couple gaming ones. we did everything as should have been, booted first time.
I use this heat sink
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
and he recommended, since my case has 2 front fans and one rear. that I take the rear fan off and put it on the heat sink to have a push pull. bad idea???

HWmonitor doesn't give acurate readings on apus, try amd overdrive to check your temps:

Here is also a quick guide for that:

Ok, yes, bad idea. VERY BAD IDEA. Put the fan back on the case as an exhaust. With no exhaust fan, the CPU fan is doing NOTHING except blowing hot air around inside the case and onto the heatsink. You don't need a push pull setup, ever. Push pull has never shown results that were consistently better than either push or pull alone. Plus, with no case exhaust there is no way for anything to ever be cool. Hot air is trapped in there with no exhaust in that rear upper fan location. PUT IT BACK IMMEDIATELY. It's the most important fan in the entire system.

I would try a remount. Take the fan and heatsink off, remove the fan from the heatsink, clean the heatsink and cpu lid carefully with rubbing alcohol and a lint free rag. Use a rice grain sized amount of TIM. Loosen the center thumb screw enough to get the four outer screws started for a few threads and then tighten the center thumb screw down all the way. Then tighten the four outer screws down to specification. Also make sure the front case fans are actually sucking air in and not blowing out just to be sure. You never know. If none of that does anything I would then check my voltages in the BIOS. If you can take a screenshot of the temps and voltages in HWinfo and post them here, that might help.

Are there dots or other visual problem during POST or in BIOS? If not, it's more probable that the APU is the problem than the motherboard. I still think since the device works fine when installed as a generic vga device or in safe mode that it's likely to be a driver issue but if it's not, then the APU is the more likely cause. At least to my experience. Somebody else might have more insight into the problem than I do.

That article is from 2010 and is not relevant to your situation. The CCC 14.4 and 14.7 are the correct drivers for your rig. If they don't work right you either have an issue with faulty hardware or a bad installation of the OS. You might even want to try reinstalling the operating system since you've updated the BIOS after the original installation and see if there are further issues before you try to RMA. Did you originally do a clean install or did you install from a restore partition?

Have you tried a Windows 8 install or have you only tried Windows 7? Also, I don't know what versions of drivers you've tried, but the AMD APU's don't use the same software as the desktop GPU's. Here is the correct page for the drivers:

Ok, I uninstalled the CCC, to safemode, run DDU. boot normal, installed the driver from the link, reboot. win starts, monitor goes to standby, then blue screen "HDMI no signal" then on, then standby. reboot to safe mode. uninstall display driver.. reboot to normal. still in 1080 res. win installs standard VGA.
in device manager- "unknown device" Yellow. so i update it, go into the chipset driver i got from asus website for my MOBo. go into drivers folder and its installs the SM bus. everything normal, just dont have the HD 8570D display driver installed. only the Standard VGA it installed for me. and of course i get the red special dots in videos. mostly in shadows places or darker spots on screen.
what would you RMA, mobo or cpu? i can screen shot anything you need if it will help

Best solution
Anybody feel free to correct me if you disagree, but I think I would RMA the APU without further ado. I guess there is a chance something in the PCI circuit for the iGPU on the board could be the issue but since it works fine in VGA mode I just don't see how it can't be the APU. This one actually has me kinda stumped since even with an APU problem it should be consistent, even with the VGA drivers.

haha, so I RMA the CPU/APU., it goes back and a few days later i get email from newegg "RMA damaged" pfft. the pins are bent. WTF. The pins wee fine when i sent it back. So i cussed the instant messenger for about an hour, then the supervisor in an email. bottom line.
they wont do anything for me since they say the pins were bent when they got it. their sending it back.
SO i ordered a A10-6800 form Tiger direct. be here Fri or nxt week.... man i hope i dont get the same problem.....

The Egg has been declining steadily in customer support and satisfaction over the course of the last year or so. I've had at least three or four issues with them that they refused to resolve and two other occasions when they refused to give me product specific information related to revisions of products they were currently shipping. I was trying to confirm revision compatibility information both times and they flat refused to help or even try to get the information. I've pretty much stopped purchasing from them and have been using Amazon more than I used to but have been using NCIX for a lot of stuff. NCIX has been extremely helpful in all phases.

yes the dots flicker, like little speckles, mostly in dark areas . they even do it in the bios.
I have been using the monitor on PS3, connected HDMI. NO PROBLEMS!
and i have already taken the mobo out and packed up ready to RMA it tomorrow.
a friend said i may have to get an DVI adapter to the Mobo. I dont have DVI on Monitor.
i dunno, im lost

Yeah, it seems RMA the motherboard or use a discrete card. Do you perhaps know somebody with a discrete graphics card you could borrow, even a cheap one, to see if the dots still appear. If they appear using a GPU card then you know it's the motherboard. That would leave you with the options to RMA the board, which you're already doing, or purchase a GPU card, which would eliminate the issue as well as give you a more powerful graphics solution with faster gaming performance anyhow.

no, i really dont know anyone with a card. yea Newegg screwed me around already and im running out of time for RMA. so last option with them to rma the board I dont think its the monitor, seems it works well with PS3 connected HDMI. besides all that, it wont accept the HD display adaptor. assuming its all the same problem. well next week, when i get the board back. and it dont work, i guess ill be on the phone alot with AMD and asus. asus techs are elementry /
