I first noticed this when I was building my PC earlier today with new parts, I powered it on and immediately a notification came up saying

"AMD's desktop manager is being unloaded because an AMD display driver is not currently running. If you have administrator privileges, click "Reset" to revert to default display settings. Select "Cancel" to close this window with no changes."

This is a bit of a difficult one to explain. I looked pretty much everywhere for a solution on this but most of the people that are having this problem are able to detect both of their graphics cards, integrated and dedicated.

Firstly I have to connect the DVMI cable to the standard port at the back of my computer for it to be able to display anything. If I connect the DVMI cable directly onto the graphics card slot (Which it should be originally) and turn my computer on, the power on my monitor keeps blinking and stays at a black screen, nothing shows.

To top things off, when I check my device manager and go on display adapters (With the DVMI cable connected to the standard monitor port) it doesn't detect my Sapphire graphics card, it just simply says Intel HD Graphics 4000, I thought okay, sure, I can simply disable the Intel HD graphics, but if I did that without the display detecting my dedicated graphics card it'll just leave me with no display, help?

By the way, the GPU doesn't seem to be broken or damaged, the fans still run and it looks to be powered on when I turn the computer on.

I've got the latest AMD drivers, reinstalled them just to ensure everything is fine too.

Try all of these, in no particular order.

Ensure the Graphics Card is sat firmly in its PCI-E x16 slot (Not at an angle) and that all relevant PCI-E Power Connectors are securely attached.

Update your BIOS to the latest version via the manufacturer's website.

Boot in to your Motherboard's BIOS and check any settings related to your PCI-E x16 slot(s) to ensure it/they is/are enabled.

Completely uninstall your current set of Graphics Card Drivers via Add / Remove Programs. Reboot and then reinstall the latest (non-Beta) drivers relevant to that specific card model and the correct version for your exact Operating System (observing the distinction between x32 and x64 OSes).

Set your desktop resolution to 800 x 600 while using your Integrated Graphics, then reboot with the Graphics Card enabled / installed.

Thank you for posting

Updated the bios to the latest version, hasn't changed anything unfortunately, I also reinstalled the graphics card driver and it still doesn't detect anything.

I'll give the 800 x 600 resolution a try.
