Hello, I recently reinstalled my AMD drivers and CCC because I wanted to move it from my HDD to SSD. This move caused some problems to my computer and I am not sure what it is.
When my monitor turns off due to inactivity, I hear the Windows sound that means a device got plugged in twice. When I wake up my monitor, I hear the same sound twice as well. When I look at my screen, everything has been scaled to fit in a smaller resolution, but the resolution stayed the same. What I mean by that is everything now fits in an area on the upper left of my screen that is approximately a quarter of the size of my screen. For example, any programs that I have open will be fit into that quarter area (my fullscreen browser will fit in that quarter sized area) and any of my icons that were outside of that area will be randomly put inside that area. This means I can see my desktop background on three quarters of my screen and the windows I had open before my monitor went to sleep are on the upper left corner of my screen.
I thought it was a driver issue so I reinstalled that driver and CCC to my SSD again and it still gave me the same error. I decided to download the beta version of CCC (14.7) to see if that would help, but it did not. I have a AMD 7700 series video card. My drivers are up to date according to Device Manager on Windows (14.200.1004.0) and CCC (14.200.1004-140811a-174673E), but MSI Afterburner says it is 9.14.10.01044 with Catalyst 14.7 (CCC says my Direct3D version is 9.14.10.01044). I think it is related to my drivers because I got a BSOD a few days ago that was due to my video drivers (I think this was my fault because I moved the drivers install files? to my HDD, if that does anything). Thank you for reading this text and for the help.
Some other information that might be important:
- I used the AMD auto-detect program on their website to download the drivers and CCC for both the reinstall and beta (I used recommended settings and did not move any files for the beta).
- I removed the driver installation files (not sure if those were the actual drivers or just installation files) from my HDD
- I had CCC installed on my SSD before I moved my drivers over to my SSD (I did not realize this the day that I decided to "move" CCC and my drivers to my SSD)
- The version of CCC that I had was old (I do not know what version it was because it did not have a "software", "hardware", nor "software update" option under the support tab)
- My issue is similar to
this issue, but I only have one monitor
- My monitor is connected through HDMI
- This issue did not occur before this move
- Right now, I think it is a driver issue, but everything tells me that my drivers are okay
