Removing CCC puts my PC in a restart loop

[Martini1991]

Hey there.
I've ultimately somehow managed to break my drivers (Yay me).
TriXX crashes, games crash, the CCC doesn't even load anymore.

So, I go to remove CCC, which then puts my PC into a restart loop until I use System restore to restore CCC.

Any ideas?
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit Premium using a RAID 0 on Intel V 40GB's.

My only thought is reformatting and restarting, which will be a pain... A large one

Also, if I were to reformat, how would I reactivate my windows?


Cheers.

assuming you have a legit copy of Win7 then reactivating it is simple. i format mine every 4-6months and it just activates over the net as usual. never had a problem.

as for the CCC try reinstalling the drivers but without CCC. go into customize and de-select CCC

see if that solves your problems.

My CCC's corrupt practically, just refuses to work, I've opted for installing drivers without CCC, didn't work.

Also, my windows is indeed legit lol, got it through the Microsoft Software Alliance.

have you tried removing all of ATI software in safemode and then just installing display drivers without CCC

I can't get into safe mode.
I didn't even know W7 had a safe mode?

EDIT : I'll give that a whack now while my PC's "working".

Use driver cleaner. I had same prob. Load in safe mode and unistall all.

I've tried.
But I'm trying the Safe Mode thing in a minute, just burning me a new W7 disk.

i was under the impression driver cleaner messed up win7

 

[Martini1991]

I used Driver cleaner fine a few times.
Guess it really did mess it up lol.

 

[magicroundabout]

any joy

Nope.
Looks like a reformat is going to happen.

Stop with the driver cleaner already!

Thats ancient Windows XP stuff.

Unneccessary. If tsomething has gone so wrong and your looking at using Driver cleaner, then the problems lies else where.

Yes a reformat will most probably clear your issue. But how do you know its not hardware related?

What I would do is express unistall all ATI software, reboot, delete any left over folders in programs profiles and or program files x86, install new ati drivers.

You could just try.... with just the display drivers.... or if you want to go with the full suite.

Make sure your runningthe lastest version of .net then install the ccc suite from the AMD website.
