So I just uninstalled my drivers from my old 5770 using the "Reinstalling GPU Drivers" thread.
The problem is, I just plugged in the 5850, the two 6-pin power connectors, and everything went just fine.
But when I connected it to my monitor (I had to use a DVI to VGA adapter) and turned on the PC the monitor just sits idle with no signal...
What do I do?
I have no integrated graphics on the mobo, so I can't get to windows without reinstalling my 5770 (which would be a huge hassle).
Here is what I did so far driver-wise:
1. Opened the ATI Software Install Manager (I looked for the ATI Uninstall Utility but couldn't find it at all) from the control panel "Uninstall a Program"
2. I did an Express Uninstall which uninstalls any ATI software/drivers, including the ATI Display Driver.
3. I restarted.
4. I went to Devices/Hardware and went to the Properties for the "5700 series ATI" and then Driver and then clicked Uninstall. This made my resolution very small, like usual in the past uninstalling cards.
5. I turned off the computer.
6. Now is the hardware part, nothing special here, just installed the new card.
HELP!
