Hi all,
I've red a ton of posts here, mostly simmilar to my problem, never found a solution that would work though. Here's the deal:
CPU FX-8350
GPU MSI R9 270x 4GB Gaming LE
MoBo Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P (rev 2.0)
PSU Corsair VS 650W CP-9020098-EU
Timeline:
- swapped all the above pieces in my PC from my old ones (phenom x4, older gigabyte mobo, 500w supply, HIS Radeon 5770) and everything worked out very well indeed. Unfortunately my case was on a temporary basis (too short, too small, too old) so I bought a new case and moved everything to a bigger case with better cooling and room in the back for cable management. After that everything went down the drain - Windows 8.1 booting, logo showing and black screen (but not "no signal", just lighter black than when it's powered off). I uninstalled the drivers in safe mode, cleaned what I could, rebooted... system went up fine on windows graphic drivers. Downloaded new AMD drivers aaaand... while the screen flickers during the install pc also makes a "new device" sound. First one goes good, but second one lags out, changes into a 1sec dubstep hit and there goes black screen again.
I tried many solutions, nothing working. Pulled out my old GPU and switched in back on, installed the drivers while on the old card and it worked. BUT! Switching back to new GPU gives me black screen again.
The twist is I can't even enter safe mode now to uninstall the drivers.
I would say as it all worked before I can rule out faulty hardware.
I'm wondering if I should just make a clean install of Windows and see if that helps
