After installing AMD drivers for my MSI radeon hd 7770 1GB my screen went red,blue,green in columns ( every pixel) and After I turned it off there was no display. Then I plugged in the DVI cable to the MOBO to see if it will turn on. Although it doesn't. When I take out the card and plug the dvi cable to the mobo it works fine. I also plugged in a different card and it worked. ( radeon hd 6450). Before installing the drivers it worked all fine.how can I resolve this situation?

Cpu i5 2400

Gpu MSI radeon HD 7770 1gb

Mobo MSI H61M-P31/w8

psu cooler master 650v2 gold MWE

Ram 8gb
 
Was the card used?
 
Hello.
It happened to me also when i installed an old card.
The problem that i notice lately (let's say last 2 years) is that AMD f***ed up the drivers.
So i started to test one by one the old drivers.
My card is : Sapphire HD 7870 XT with 2GB.
Since the card was made in 2013, do not go for drivers made after 2018.
They never correct or make some updates in later BIOS files for such old cards.(except corrections for some games reported by users)
I started to read at each BIOS update what errors and improvements they have compared to the older one.
When i realized that AMD never focus on cards older then 2 years i went to database and tested drivers from that period.
First i used the search form from the AMD web page that pointed one of the latest drivers. That did not worked for me either.

So i installed the following WHQL edition:


On the compatibility list the card is listed there and after i used DDU to clean the system from the old driver, i took off the network cable and clean install the driver i provided.

After computer restarted i put back the network cable.

Will I just be able to casually use DDU? For the simple reason that safe mode doesn't really work on my pc.
