Vega 64 Black screen when installing AMD drivers

[stoke1863]

This is driving me nuts, my PC was working perfect, but now as soon as windows boots up (and uses the GPU drivers) my screen goes blank,

For example i can load the BIOS see all the graphics, i can boot into safe mode and see everything fine, but as soon as i install the AMD Vega 64 drivers my screen goes blank.

I have tried using DDU in safe mode, and this lets me get into windows, but as soon as install AMD drivers the screen will go blank,

Any ideas?

This was working perfectly fine even yesterday, but today as soon as i boot up I noticed after the bios screen my display goes black

Can you change the card over to it's other BIOS?

 

[Nasher]

Have you got any other screens plugged in?

No just a single screen, I'll try the other bios now,

If it is surviving restarts then all good, the bios gets read once I think, during windows boot or maybe your computer booting. Vega cards usually have 2 BIOS's, some cards have 3, one is write protected the other you can overwrite if you need too. I'd try it back in the original position and see how that works out, if it doesn't work you might be able to flash another BIOS on it, but if it the write protected one you might be snookered, not looked into if its easy to get around the protection.

Hopefully it just works now and your happy
