My PC has been acting weird lately and it didn't allow me to get past welcome screen and I couldn't do anything about it so I had to do a fresh reset on it and when I was installing AMD Cataclysm I restarted my PC and got the same problem from my old restore. What should I do? Install amd cataclysm 13.9?
 
I want to know how I can get rid of this issue, it says that the amd overdrive is not digitally signed when I got it from the amd website. I found out that the overdrive the problem causing the crashing. Can I get an overdrive driver from somewhere that is signed?
 
If this is the same problem as the other threads you have made:

Then i suggest you start from scratch by taking the motherboard battery out for a few minutes and reformatting your hard drive, so you can do a fresh install. Tell your bios that the boot priority should be the cd drive if you are using a windows CD or a USB drive if it is from USB. This will solve any problems whether it is a driver issue or not.

Making more threads on this will not get any more replies, if anything it discourages reply's from other forum users because they think that the threads are dead topics.
 
I am new to forums, and new to PCs. I don't know how to use and mange my threads sorry :(

I have already finished doing a fresh start however I can't fix this problem, it says sonmething like "You are downloading a digitally unsigned driver when I downloaded straight from AMD. When I download it, I get the same boot crash all over again. I managed to bypass it by restoring to the thing it installed before the unsigned driver (amd overdrive). I installed the video card drivers then and I reboot and get the same problem again? I am just wanting a fix and nobody has any : /

I will try not to make the mistake on making multiple threads again. I thought making a new thread is for something entirely different and so yeah I am kinda a noob.
 
Then you need to get busy on Google.

Look for your motherboard manual. If you don't have it check the motherboard for the model number and search Google. Learn how to reset your BIOS and give it a try. Ensure not only the graphics card drivers are up to date, but also the motherboard chipset drivers.

One more thing, are you using a genuine version of Windows or a copy?
 
AMD FX-6350
Powercolor Radeon HD 7950
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866 memory
Western digital caviar blue 1TB 7200RPM Harddrive
Corsair CX500W

I have updated all my Mobo drivers and chipsets, etc. The only drivers I require are the video card drivers and I get this start up problem when I boot up my PC so I have to use system restore and go back.
 
I've closed your other threads as this one is the newest.

What startup error do you get when you install your drivers?
Have you plugged in the aux power cable to your graphics card?
Have you tried the graphics card in another PC?
 
1) I get this error. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxq2o6ybkj1pji8/IMG_0671.MOV

It may be upside down, sorry its dropbox's error : /

2) I don't know what an aux power cable is but I have 2 PCI-E Cables connected to the graphics card.

3) No but I do know its the driver, because I done a fresh reset on my PC and it works fine until I get a driver for it and the start up goes like this (Use the link in answer 1)
 
No! You don't know it's the driver causing the issue at all. The driver is merely highlighting a problem. Installing the driver may just be highlighting a power supply issue, may be highlighting a motherboard or RAM or even a GPU issue. All the driver does is tell the piece of hardware how to work and interact with the other components in your system. The driver may not be the root cause of the problems at all.

You are making the very common error of mistaking correlation for causation.
 
Without wishing to seem rude you seem to lack both confidence and rudimentary knowledge of computers which is why someone earlier suggested (quite rightly) that you take it to someone who knows what they're doing.

Have you reset the BIOS as suggested earlier?

If that doesn't work it's going to cost you to fix it. Either you take it to a local shop and pay. Or you RMA the graphics card and pay postage, risking that it's fine and sent back to you as working.

Ideally you'd have components to swap into the computer to test for the rogue hardware, but it doesn't seem that this is the case.
