Can a Graphics Card Update Go Wrong?

[JSN58]

Hi guys and girls, thanks in advance for the help. I was recently playing a game and realize my graphics card wasn't running as good as I would like. Realized i hadn't updated the drivers in sometime so I went ahead and did. After restarting my computer after the updates like it told me too, my screen was pushed in 1in. on both sides and 1/2in. on the top and bottom. Along with skype and steam not opening, even though I was on it right up until I restarted my computer. Just wondering what I need to do to fix those programs and my screen? Thanks again, JSN58

ps- my graphics card is an asus radeon 2gb 7770

Just sounds like the driver uninstalled the old version (something AMD loves to do) and then never reinstalled the new driver. Download the driver package, turn off automatic driver updates (see the sticky in this forum on clean installs), and do a clean driver install. Should work after that.

Where is the sticky at for the clean driver install?

Where is the sticky at for the clean driver install?

It's literally at the top of the Windows 10 forum. Has a label of sticky, and says "clean graphics driver install" in the title.

While you're there, check the other stickies like the tutorial thread.
