I have windows 8 64 bit and everything was working fine up until i tried to install the latest drivers for the card . After doing so I loaded up WoW and it froze about 2 minutes into playing. I had to reboot the pc manually since it stopped responding. I then tired to uninstall the amd catalyst drivers and do a fresh install. Things installed alright but then i had to restart my pc and since then if i boot it with the cable plugged in the independant graphics card it seems to boot but all i get is a black screen. I tried multiple times to reboot , went to bios but couldnt find anything to help there. Now the only way i can get it to boot without the black screen is by shutting off my pc and removing the card and starting it with the onboard card. I then tried to uninstall the amd drivers and do yet another fresh install, but i still get the black screen when i boot the pc up using the independant card. This was working fine 2 days ago so I am confused. I cleaned all the dust out of the pc and the card and still not able to boot up with it. I have tried system restore and it did nothing to fix the problem. I have tried drivesweeper and piriform ccleaner , so far nothing has fixed it. I have windows 8 that came preloaded on my os so i cant even try to do a fresh install of windows 8 as far as i know . Anybody that can help or has a solution it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I am able to go into the bios with the card in or out, that doesnt seem to matter. Just that is is not booting properly when the card is in and the cables plugged in. I have tried 3 cables so I do not think that can be the issue. It was working great 2 days ago.

I can access it with the card in , but as soon as i boot it with the cable plugged into the card it just gives me a black screen. I am not sure how to tell if the card is fried or not by this.
