I'm having problems with my graphics card & was hoping that someone could help me solve it.
So it started while I was playing a game, Terraria, and the screen froze intermittently and the "display driver stopped working" notification started appearing quite often. I thought it was time to update my driver and so I did. But when installing the driver, while the screen was supposed to refresh, my screen turned off and then went black/blue.
The screen only came back if I either:
1. Boot it in safe mode
2. Remove the amd graphics driver with DDU driver uninstaller
3. Simply disconnect the GPU and run off CPU graphics.
So basically, everything points to a problem with the AMD driver.
When installing the AMD drivers, I can install the catalyst control center, HDMI audio input driver, etc. I only can't install the AMD display driver properly. The driver versions I have tried installing are 15.200.1062.1004 and 15.200.1062.1010, but both doesn't work.
I also tried re-seating the GPU and even clean-installed the entire windows OS, but the problem still persists.
And less I forget, I'm using a MSI HD7850 Twin Frozr 2GB with an MSI B-85 G-41 PC Mate Mobo.
Also, I said that the GPU runs if I uninstall the drivers. However it does not run properly. There are green vertical lines in the display, as shown in the screenshot below. Although I was assuming that this would be solved by installing the driver somehow.
