    Display Adapter not showing up under device manager/AMD not working +


    Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to fix this for about two days now.

    I've uninstalled everything AMD/ATI (multiple times) and tried to reinstall my graphics driver using AMD Catalyst. It always says that my computer "does not contain a proper graphics adapter." I've used Driver Sweeper to get rid of remnants, I'm in safemode right now because suddenly I couldn't get into normal mode (where I'd only be able to use VGA, everything for my adapter was put as "unavailable" when I checked under advanced for display properties). After the startup screen it went black but I could still see my cursor and move it around, it might of worked if I waited a bit longer but the length seemed odd so I rebooted into safemode.

    At first I couldn't even get into normal mode, it would just be black + without cursor until I uninstalled my driver from device manager, but now I can't get the display adapters to show up again.

    I've read a couple things about bios and something called pci but I'm not sure how either of those work (or what they are)? I'm not super great at computers.

    Thanks.

    The AMD drivers still didn't work when I tried to download from lenovo, it says it failed to detect system configuration.

    When I try to boot into normal mode, it just shows a black screen after the start up, but my mouse cursor appears and I can move it. It won't go into the log in screen, I've waited a while to see if it would until rebooting into safemode again.
