Hello Everyone,

I've got a problem with the driver installation of my GPU. The installer (Radeon software adrenalin edition 18.9.3) opens and when it comes to the point of detecting the hardware (in my case the GPU) my whole computer freezes and the only thing I can do is to reset. The same happens, when I try to use the AMD cleanup tool. The GPU also does not show up in the Windows device manager. The only GPU the device manager shows is "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter", which also freezes the computer when I try to update the drivers, and "Intel HD Graphics".

Here ist the rest of the Hardware:

• Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit
• CPU: IntelCore i5 3470 3.2GHz (overclocked, don't know the exact speed)
• Mainboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M
• RAM: 16GB DDR3
• Memory: 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD
• (GPU: Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition)

If there is any important information missing please let my know!

Help me, AMD community! You're my only hope!

I have a similar issue.

7870 also.

Anyone had any luck solving this?

The 7870 is crippled by only being able to run the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter"

Whenever I upgrade to the latest recommended drivers the screen goes black.

After a restart windows loads for a few seconds (small circle spinning) and then the screen goes black again.

All I can do is boot into Safe Mode and roll back the drivers so it is using the Basic Display Adapter drivers..

I have done a full reinstall of the latest version of Windows 10. 64.

Almost a year later, but I have the same problem. As soon as I enable the driver for my Asus Radeon HD 7870 the screen goes black. I had the problem on Windows 7 and now on Windows 10 after upgrade.

I have been using the card since January 2013 with no (well, almost no) problems.

Did anyone manage to solve this? 

[vollterr]

Didn't solve it. I ended up buying a 7970 from a friend for $30. I was

pulling my hair out.. I suspect planned obsolescence

like wise we also ended up buying a new card, just so stupid.
