6870 black screen Need some help/input from anyone
« on: January 04, 2013, 03:27:33 PM »
Well Sunday put on the pc login screen came up then went blank ( black screen only the cursor showing )
with Windows 8 forced a bad start to go into the advanced startup went into safe mode and uninstalled drivers .... restarted ... same thing

Uninstalled Windows 8 .... installed Win 7 Pro 64 Bit screen shows no problem with standard VGA driver....
( just not getting the native res of 1920x1080 ) of the monitor ...install the AMD drivers restart get back the Black screen with just the cursor showing up

So basically when I install the AMD drivers I just get a black screen AND the card doesn't load windows in low res mode with the drivers installed either...... it does work in safe mode ... well because windows loads the standard VGA driver

I googled extensively and mostly came up with RMA or this happened to people using 2 monitors

card is about 11 months old never Overclocked and Case has good airflow load temps never exceed 55-60max

I already arranged to RMA the card but i have till Tuesday to test so any suggestions are welcomed

Did you by chance check this...second to last post

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/337805-33-6870-drivers-installed-black-screen-reboot-please

I think holding down f8 before boot gives you the vga mode option (start windows in normal mode, not safe mode but at vga res)

nah I get the same black screen and the resolution changes cause the cursor is huge and stretched out
has me stumped cause the card never even gave any indication of any problems one day I just get this black screen at login no BSOD..... nothing in the eventviewer... nothing sigh

Thanks for the input tho appreciate it



So basically when I install the AMD drivers I just get a black screen AND the card doesn't load windows in low res mode with the drivers installed either......
