On my new build with these bits, XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card 4GB G.Skill RipJaws 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit 550W OCZ Fatal1ty Modular Power Supply Gigabyte GA-P55-US3L 1TB Samsung SpinPoint F3 HD BX80605I5750 - Intel Core i5 750, S 1156, Lynnfield, Quad Core Xigmatek Midgard Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Quiet Intel CPU Cooler Mionix Saiph 3200 gaming mouse Saitek Eclipse 111 keyboard I have a problem after installing the driver for the graphics card and rebooting I can only see this on my monitor. Black screen with mouse pointer, which is movable.Along the bottom is an ease of access button, then windows 7 home premium and then a shutdown options button which suggests that the monitor is in standby mode. There seems to be a fix, http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/no-display-through-dvi-hotfix.aspx which I have downloaded but have no idea how to get it from my flash drive to my PC.It will not go into safe mode either. Am at a bit of a loss.
havent u seen the news, this is the black screen of death which has been caused by a MS update last week. there is a work around i think but MS is currently looking into the problem. alot of people have resorted to formatting there machines
It was running fine yesterday evening until I loaded the drivers for my card,so I feel it is unlikely to be any update which I might add have just downloaded and installed. Even though I have little display some stuff shows up .
apparently not caused by the MS update as was originally reported: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10407090-56.html
Sorted. Discovered that windows 7 comes with the drivers for the HD 4890 graphics card, so after reinstall,all is well, until of course the next problem. Thanks all. G.
