    Win 10 boot and RCP server not available

    The only problem with the solution is that I've already tried to make a system restore and it wouldn't complete successfully.

    Win 10 boot and RCP server not available

    Hey Forum, I'm having a hard time with my girlfriend's desktop. She started having problems waking it from sleep mode, where switching off the power from the wall and then freshly booting was needed to get it going and even then the start up was very slow. The same thing happened again...

    Screen goes black after splash screen (still has sound) with any AMD drivers installed

    Even with the generic driver, it didn't last. It just took longer to replicate. I've since removed the card and used the iGPU and haven't had any trouble since. I'm going to see if I can get a few older versions of the drivers test them all with the card in another system to see whether it's...

    Screen goes black after splash screen (still has sound) with any AMD drivers installed

    Scratch that. As I finished posting that comment, it did the same thing after working for hours. So I can't say it works with generic drivers. I mean, it was as I'd finished installing Office 365 but I doubt that would have been it.

    Screen goes black after splash screen (still has sound) with any AMD drivers installed

    Is it a thing for them to still work on BIOS screens and in Safe Mode/on generic drivers and come up with blank screens when using drivers?

    Screen goes black after splash screen (still has sound) with any AMD drivers installed

    Hey Forum, As the title suggests, if I have any AMD drivers installed the screen goes black when it should be moving onto the login screen after the splash screen. I still have sound though and can hear the greeting sound even with no display. I can log in just fine in safe mode and it's...

    Unmountable BOOT Volume Error

    I appreciate your quick answer. :) I've put the drive in a different SATA cable with a different slot on the Motherboard and I've tried the drive on another system as a secondary drive and all it does is come up with the Windows Splash screen and just waits there. What you said after that: "If...

    Unmountable BOOT Volume Error

    Hey Forum, So, I've been having some troubles with a HDD which has come up BSOD with an Unmountable BOOT Volume error. The only way I can get back into Windows after this happens is to let it run its own repair which takes about eight or nine hours until it locks up again. I've been to Google...

    Sound distorting at random times - Windows 7

    Used DDU to wipe the AMD drivers off and reinstalled them. It seems to have fixed it.

    Sound distorting at random times - Windows 7

    My specs are: Core i5 3570K MSI Z77A-G41 16GB RAM Sapphire R9 390 Silverstone 700w ST70F-ESG WD 1TB Blue To further add to the description, the distortion is often like a slow down.

    Sound distorting at random times - Windows 7

    Hey Forum, I'm currently having problems with my sound. At random while I have some sort of audio going, the sound will distort. I've tried updating the onboard drivers on my motherboard, I've tried system restores to a time where I was pretty sure I didn't have this problem. I'm at a loss...

    MSI R9 390X or Sapphire R9 390

    Hey Forum, I'm hoping for some help. I have to replace a faulty card and I'm caught between two. I can get either a Sapphire R9 390 from a vendor which I know and have used before or MSI Gaming R9 390X from another which I have not used but haven't seen any bad reviews, this is for only fifty...

    Computer starts continuous fast beeps.

    Update: I thought that as the problems usually only happened when the computer woke from sleep mode, either by itself or from someone using it, I turned off sleep mode and no more problems. As for the actual cause, I have no idea, but it boots up just fine from shut down and no longer beeps for...

    Computer Crash and won't turn back on

    Hey mate, What's your model of PSU? If you have a lower quality one (some power supplies from companies with other great products can still drive a poor quality PSU). Some of them can fail, especially if you have a sudden shift in voltage.

    ASUS R9 290 begins showing artifacts in intense games, then black screens

    I had the exact same problem. Mine too had nothing to do with the drivers as I hadn't done the update to Crimson, but I tried it after the hotfix to diagnose to no avail there. I found that my GPU was over heating even with fans at 100% and my side cover off. Try running it with Furmark and...
