HD 6850 startup problems
Hey there! Before I start, thanks for looking at my thread, any feedback is appreciated.
I have built a new system (the other day) with a new MSI HD 6850 graphics card. When I installed windows 7 everything is fine. The graphics card, however, is showing up in the device manager as 'Standard VGA device". So, I go to install the latest drivers through device manager, that results in the changing of this to "HD 6800 series...". I am then prompted to restart the pc, which is when the problem arises. After the windows flag, I am left with a blank screen, although something is happening because the backlights are still there. Tried numerous reinstalls after formatting disk etc. Tried updating BIOS. Computer runs fine in safe mode. When I boot to the last successful load up, the computer works fine again, until of course the driver installs once again.
Cheers, Triopas.
