Catalyst 12.4 problems

[R.C.Anderson]

More of a heads up than anything (I couldn't see another topic about it).

I updated to 12.4 last week, and ever since, I was having issues, where all screens would suddenly go blank (showing no signal) and the only way to get the back (that I found) was to restart.

I was worried it might have been my gfx card being unstable, so I returned to stock settings, but still the same. I then decided to install the old drivers again, which seems to have fixed the issue.

As I said, more of a heads up for anyone else who is having the same issues, it could be worth trying.

I have a 6950, with a 2500k on W7.

No problems with 12.4 here, I have crossfire too..

Are you using driversweeper between installs out of interest?

No, just using the AMD auto update, as I've never had problems with it before.

Tbh I haven't had any issues with 12.3, so I'm fine sticking with it for a while longer. If I get the issues again with 12.5, then I'll try a driver sweeper first.

I don't have any power saving features active on my PC, other than turning my HDDs (to make it quieter), and it was happening whilst I was using my PC anyway...
