any more thoughts?

In device manager, right click your card. Choose properties. Click details tab. Change the dropdown box to hardware ids. Now post here with the 4 digit number to the right of dev_, in any of the lines.

I will make you a custom .inf install file and it will work.

ok so after carring the aforementioned steps it still came to the same problem.

so after searching through the possible causes again i came across some posts in the game.amd. forums that mentions that the monitor can cause the screen to black out.

So i booted into safe mode and i see that the ATI drivers for my HD 4770 are indeed installed, its just that there are no monitor drivers installed. (My Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager )

Some people suggest that if you connect a VGA monitor in you can go in and load up CCC but i cant do that as i have no VGA ports.

have also tried VGA->DVI

sighhhhh

ohh thanks!

is that still necessary given my new post?

AMD Game Forums - HD 4870 Vista black screen / no monitor signal after install

the thread i was talking about

my Saphire 4770 works just fine with drivers 9.8-9.9 under P35 chipset.

Spacerat, not sure if the monitor driver missing is causing problems. In all cases I've seen, that shouldn't. Doesn't mean it's not though.

Boot into safe mode with networking and do a Windows Update. See if it gives you a driver for your monitor. What monitor is it?

did the windows update and same issue! in safe mode now. in the device manager there is are no monitors.

succky.

ended up rolling back the driver, used driver sweeper and installed agin so fail.

still after the windows 7 splash it dies in its ass.
