Hi guys, need some urgent help on this one!
basically son wanted to play new steam game 'toolbox turbos' or something and the screen spazzed out then went to desktop. then radeon software unavailable, then i get a message saying
'not compatible with your currently installed driver. please check systems for other version of radeon blah blah
pa-300 on their faq. this basically says 'windows sometimes updates your drivers. so it tells you to disable drivers updates in windows but thats it. then they say just ask MS. but why doesnt nvidia ever have this problem?!? im remembering why i normally get nvidia now.
so i do a factory reset clean install of drivers (i did a clean install of windows yesterday and was running fine all last night) it deletes all old ones, reboots, then the screen goes black half way thru cant do anything so have to turn pc on and off. tried with DDU and cleaned everything. looked to have crashed but then i rebooted and let me load a game, but then went black and back to square 1 with radeon s/w not working?!
then device manager tells me this.
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" seems to be a driver connection issue
i only got this card yesterday and its been a PITA the last few hours. im already wishing id gone nvidia.
