I came back to the Uni and turned on my PC only to discover that the CCC panel looks a bit... crap. Starts up but can't read anything or set anything in it. So uninstalled everything and used CCleaner and Driver Cleaner on safe mode, then re-installed the 10.11's.
Installation completed but a few errors: The HDMI files failed.
Uninstalled again while again cleaning old drivers, manually uninstalled drivers for GPU's from device manager and installed the 10.12's. Same thing.
On both installations the CCC panel is just a small window, really small with only the home button appearing and nothing functioning.
I now end up using just the drivers windows recommended on startup. (says 26/10/2010 on details so should be the drivers from the 10's )

I tried every sequence of uninstalls and cleaning old drivers I could think of, more than once. Always same error on HDMI and CCC is crap.
Should note that CFX is still enabled and performance is still good on NFS-HP and PES2011.
Any ideas?
 
Right, unless im being blind (didnt sleep well last night) you havent told us what o.s your using.

I recently formated my xp machine, and I forgot to install the 3.5 .net frame work, before trying to install the ATI drivers and they failed.


In your situation, I would make sure that you have installed the lates .net frame work - although with both Vista and Win 7 .net is baked in to the o.s

If this doesnt work, then reformat the machine, install all drivers for the hardware except for gpu - then install all microsoft updates.... if your using xp, now install the .net 3.5 framwork, or if your with Vista/Win 7 you should now be safe to install the ati drivers......

If you get offered any .net framework update for vista/win7 install those as well.

If windows offers any ATI drivers dont download them.


It could also be a problem with your gpu overclock. As a last resort, you could try returning the clocks to stock, then install the drivers....

Maybe you can do this before reformating wndows.

ops sry, I'm using Windows 7 64bit.

Well, it was ok for like since October, then suddenly had a problem?
I only load my overclock when gaming through Afterburner, everything is on stock right now.

I'm really bumped, because I tried everything, and I really didn't want to format.
I guess I'll wait for the 11.1's, if that doesn't fix anything I'll just format...
 
Did you try just uninstalling the CCC & downloading / installing just that seperately ? :

If you don't mind a bit of fiddling, follow Von Dach's unistall procedure here :

If you'd rather wait for the 11.1's then use RadeonPro to set profiles for each game you play.

Will let you change aa / af settings , etc...until you sort the problem out.

Btw, if you have Afterburner running at windows startup, try disabling that before uninstalling / reinstalling drivers.
 
will give the guide a read later when I finish my lectures.

Yes I did. Right now I only have drivers installed.

Games seem to run ok.

Also afterburner is not starting automatically, I am starting it when wanting extra fps if a game is demanding.
 
ok still gives me this error even with the 11.1a's

HDMI/DP Audio Driver
Final Status: Fail
Version of Item: 7.12.0.7700
Size: 1 Mbytes

Guess I'm gonna format soon :(
 
Is there any chance the hd audio device is disabled in the device manager, and that's why the drivers' refusing to install ?
