I have a Radeon HD 5700.
So one day I thought I should probably check for updates to my video driver. Mistake.
There seemed to be something newer on the ATI site so I downloaded it and installed it. Soon my computer started randomly rebooting after BSODing.. this was never when I was there, just if it was left on overnight or while at work or what have you.
I tried Steam's auto driver update thing because it sounded straightforward, and that seemed to work until the audio out with my HDMI was mostly never there (can restart and get it back, but if I turn off the TV I have connected to my PC switch audio back, then try and get it back to the TV, no dice).
So I rolled back the driver.. and the audio-out worked again, but the automatic rebooting was still happening. Not sure what driver version I was at when all this started.
Recently I thought maybe there was a better way. Went on the official site and ran the AMD Driver Autodetect, which found a different driver, but it did the same thing as the one I got through Steam even though I definitely noticed audio driver for the hdmi specifically mentioned when I went to custom-install...
So now I'm rolled back to the one that will probably randomly BSOD me.
Is there any driver out there that will just work properly? Any advice on where to go to find it? Right now I'm on 8.951.0.0 which is allegedly from 08/03/2012
