ok so my gigabyte ATI radeon HD 7850 came today which im very pleased about. I am using windows 8 and installed catalyst etc, although it kept telling me that it couldnt find the correct hardware.

So i uninstalled all my old nvidia drivers thinking it was that and rebooted, now once i get past the blue microsoft logo my screen just flashed black.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Update, i can get into safe mode. But thats it.

Going to install win7 again i think. Just to rule out the card.
 
I know mate, i feel a right idiot. Think its because i was excited.

will give this a tickle now.

Thanks Sparx.
