So basically I had changed my motherboard from Gigabyte H61m S2P to Gigabyte H61M S. I had not performed a clean windows install since most of the drivers(Including the Chipset driver) were same, and also I didn't want to lose my files. There was no problem while booting and the idle performance of my pc was normal. However I did experienced tremendous lag while playing games which I never used to experience before. After a few weeks, while booting my pc, the screen was completely black and the computer froze. I somehow managed to boot into safe mode and traced the problem to my AMD display driver. I uninstalled it, and it was replaced by Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. Ever since then whenever i tried to install AMD Display Drivers, my screen goes black and my computer freezes. Is there a way to fix this problem?
My system specs are :-
1.Intel i7 2600 @ 3.4Ghz
2.O.S - Windows 8.1 64bit
3 Ram - 12GB (8 GB + 4 GB)
4.Motherboard - Gigabyte H61M - S
5.Graphics Card - Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270X OC 4GB Edition
6.750 GB HDD + 500GB HDD
P.S - On doing a lot of research i did come across a solution which instructed me to delete the file atikmdag.sys in the system32 folder of C Drive. It did solve the problem temporarily since the installation was not hindered. However when i changed the graphics settings through the catalyst manager and opened a game, the screen started to flicker and i ended up with a grey screen and a non responsive computer. Ever since then, I am still encountering the problem of black screen and frozen computer while installing the display driver.
I have also uninstalled the previous graphics driver using display driver uninstaller. Also since I have two hard disks, I reinstalled windows 8.1 on the other one and tried to install the AMD display driver, I once again got a black screen.
Please Help !!
