Then I found that Windows 10 kept downloading and installing them as part of its mandatory updates. I figured maybe updating my AMD drivers would help, so I used DDU to get the old ones completely removed. I didn't have any problems until a recent big update, then every game I play started crashing often. Back in May when the computer issues first started, I swapped out the older one with the unused one.īest I could do is swap out the newer one with the older one, but I still think the issue is more related to Windows 10 forcing updates. Eventually I just used one card and put the other away. I've got 2 Radeon 7970s that I bought years ago, intending to use them in a Crossfire configuration. I'm getting tempted to try this, especially with Windows 7 Windows 10 has been kind of a mess for me ever since I upgraded to it.Īny help or advice would be hugely appreciated.



Installing the card before installing the AMD drivers.Installing AMD drivers before installing the card.Uninstalling/re-installing the same AMD drivers I used before.If I remove the card and plug the HDMI back into the onboard video, everything's fine and I have a functioning computer.but not one I can game with. I used DDU and uninstalled the AMD drivers in Safe Mode, restarted, the ASUS boot screen came up, the dots started spinning, and after a few seconds it froze (kind of like this pic I found online).Īfter a lot of trial and error I established that the computer won't boot up to the Windows login screen if my Radeon HD 7970 is installed. So I decided to uninstall my AMD drivers (16.4.2) with Display Driver Uninstaller and try a newer set. I got steady and frequent crashes while gaming (Elite: Dangerous, World of Warcraft, and 7 Days to Die, mostly). Recently I started having problems again. I previously posted several months ago on the forum after a ton of Blue Screens of Death and crashes/restarts, and eventually everything was solved.
