Trying this forum out to see if anyone has the solution.
The problem:
I have been using this computer for about 3 years, no issues. I believe recently I had a windows update that caused a black screen.
As soon as I install / windows installs / or adrenalin installs AMD drivers, I get an instant black screen. Restarting, I get to the point where the motherboard hands off to the OS and I get 'no signal' from my monitor. Computer sounds like it's still running but just not displaying anything. I have to boot into safe mode and disable the AMD display drivers and then I can run my computer outside of safe mode again, but the performance is obviously not great (some screen tearing while moving windows around etc.)
I have tried:
Fresh install of windows 10
Fresh install of windows 11
Using AMD cleanup utility to uninstall latest drivers and install 21.10.2 instead
I bought and installed a new CPU, a new PSU and both result in the same issue - it's definitely just the drivers.
I have flashed my BIOS to the latest (necessary to install 5600G CPU)
Previous specs:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
Motherboard: PRIME B450M-A
RAM: 2x16GB Corsair DDR4 3200MHz
NVME M.2 SSD: Samsung 970 Evo
Current specs:
OS: Windows 11
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
I am connecting to an LG monitor using an HDMI cable.
Please help, I'm very, very frustrated.
