7950, 13.3 beta Drivers

Reptile Guy · 17 Apr 2013 at 22:35

Hi, I install the 13.3 beta driver from the amd website on sunday and ever since most of my game's keep crashing. Anybody else had the some problem.

BluD · 17 Apr 2013 at 22:38

Not had that problem no, had a few other problems, did you use driver fusion to remove all your drivers first?

Reptile Guy · 17 Apr 2013 at 22:43

No does it not do all that automatically when you install new one's lol, new to PC's so Still Learning.

BluD · 17 Apr 2013 at 22:46

No driver fusion is a seperate program you download, it will scan and remove all the old video drivers on your computers. Stops a lot of bugs ya get with installing over old drivers. Try that first and see if it stops your crashes.

youll have to reinstall the new drivers again after youve done that i forgot to mention.

Reptile Guy · 17 Apr 2013 at 22:49

OK, will give it a try. thanks

Reptile Guy · 17 Apr 2013 at 23:07

there's a load of files there do i delete them all,

Reptile Guy · 17 Apr 2013 at 23:35

OK done that worse how lol still crashing my game's plus now got a bad screen flicker.

Go back to the latest stable release drivers and see if you are stable again.
Could be some other problem and just coincidence?

Reptile Guy · 18 Apr 2013 at 00:09

Well the screen flickers gone by going back to 13.2 drivers but some game's still crashing like skyrim every time i save it crashes

Reptile Guy · 19 Apr 2013 at 00:09

Still got the problem, when i use driver fusion it said it can't delete all file's unless i upgrade do i need the full version.

BluD · 19 Apr 2013 at 00:56

No ya dont need full version, i just run it once, restart, run it again, then restart and reinstall drivers

BluD · 19 Apr 2013 at 00:57

Go back to the last stable drivers for you in 13.3 aint working, try the last certified ones.

Reptile Guy · 19 Apr 2013 at 14:50

done all that and the screen flicker is back gone back to 13.1 drivers some games are working OK , the only other thing I have done this week is add new thermal compound to my GPU can that do thing like this.

Try a different output on the card to make sure you haven't damaged anything, maybe you botched the the paste/assembly too and it's overheating, use gpu-z to log temps to check, even if it black screens, press the power button for a few seconds(not a hold in press-until it hard closes down)to shut down the PC and restart and check the log.

try using this driver fusion http://www.sendspace.com/file/d4hcii
read the readme first, made a difference for me

This is exactly the reason why i'm put off by AMD GPU's. Shame really.

BluD · 19 Apr 2013 at 16:41

When ya get the drivers working properly these cards are great..just takes a little messing sumtimes, also most the people having problems with drivers seem to be using beta drivers, cant really complain too much if ya testing betas and stuff starts going wrong.

Yeah that's a fair point about the beta drivers.

So in your analogy Nvidia drivers are fault free then?
