Ok, so I've built an HTPC, specs are below:


ASUS F1A75-M FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W Continuous power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

AMD A6-3500 Llano 2.1GHz (2.4GHz Max Turbo) Socket FM1 65W Triple-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6530D AD3500OJGXBOX
1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
1 x LG Black Blu-ray Drive SATA Model UH12LS28 OEM LightScribe Support - OEM
1 x SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum / 0.8mm SECC Grandia Series GD05B micro-ATX / Mini-DTX / Mini-ITX MB, 1x5.25", 2x3.5"+1x2.5"HDD or 1x3.5"+2x2.5"HDD, 3x120mm golf bladed fan, 11" expansion card capable HTPC

Now I've updated the graphics drivers, and have a Pioneer VSX-521-K A/V Receiver that I want to hook it up through. I know that the computer will hook up straight to the TV no problem, but when I try to hook it up through the receiver, all I get after the Windows 7 loading screen is a flickering black screen with nothing on it. Am I missing something here? I can't figure out for the live of me what's going wrong.
 
Roll back the drivers and wait for the next updates to come out.

New drivers don't always mean better of everything, they actually and mostly end up messing a perfectly good working system. The new drivers sometimes are especially made to make certain models of cards function better ( the newer cards) but have a sort of negative effect on older functioning cards, not intentionally but something that is usually overlooked because of this roll back option that is available.

My suggestion would be to skip this new version and wait for the next one to come out until then use the older version.
