''Standard VGA Graphic Adapter'' With R7 370

[Chris 2224]

So basically,yesterday i was playing games,normally,and i decided to sleep so i turned off my pc.
Next morning,my pc was booting slow,and i went to device manager and saw STANDARD VGA GRAPHIC ADAPTER in my display adapters...

I installed Windows 7 64bit version,and i tried updating my drivers but nothing fixed it.
Radeon ReLive installed but it was still same.

My R7 370 is running on HDMI,but it never made problems,except this morning.
But it is on an adapter (Vga to HDMI) because other thing didnt work.
My cpu is Athlon X4 860k
8GB of RAM
And my MB is Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-S1

People please help me im really stressed out.

you need to download the drivers

booting slow and with drivers installed seeing it was normal before sounds like windows had issue loading the AMD driver and just did not

I would do a clean uninstall of them then download and reinstall fresh

when installing choose custom install and uncheck everything but display driver and ccc only and test that

if nothing else try a older driver like maybe a driver before the gimmick ware like crimison or that relive were part of things and see how that may do

could be as new as relive is could be some bugs involved or maybe some harddrive corruption ????

Ok i will try that,but im confused,yesterday everything was normal.

ya , kinda why I added hard drive corruption ??? when windows boots its first at default safe mode and between start and desktop is when it loads drivers like for your card and what not

so it may seem it tried to load the amd driver for your card and failed to do so , but figuring out the reason why that's a lot to look at in causes and can be a lot of trouble shooting

could be a driver issue / power issue / card issue / ect........ I know with my old 7850 card I never used over 13.12 with it seemed all ways some issue with any later drivers and just went back to 13.12 in the end ???

hard to say if nothing else if you got another computer or a buddy with a nice gaming rig to test the card in it to see if it does the same

known issues

''◾Radeon ReLive may fail to install on AMD APU Family products or experience a system hang or failure to record when using the recording feature on AMD APU Family products.''

Can you link me an older version? Like the one with catalys control center? when you click right click it pops up?

I gave a list of previous drivers maybe 14.9 ???

this is how AMD has got and why I went back to NVidia

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows%207%20-%2064&rev=14.9

like from that page see how AMD has no info if you use the tabs supported products and release notes ??? nothing your now just in the dark with them

well this earlier driver has your card under supported [15.7]

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst15-7WINReleaseNotes.aspx

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows%207%20-%2064&rev=15.7

try that ???

The only thing i can check is: HDMI Audio Driver,AMD Catalys Control Center,Catalys install manager and Amd Gaming Evolved... this is so dumb

 

[junkeymonkey]

that's why I never went over 13,12 driver with my last amd card - its about you now do as they want and you now support them instead of them supporting you and your needs

sad thing is pretty soon they seem all to be going that way user personal computers are becoming a thing of the past is now there way or no way .

anyway the older drivers should give you more open options to unslecet what ''YOU'' don't feel is needed - unless they also went back and ''fixed '' that as well

So what should i do?This thing is so dumb :c

 

[junkeymonkey]

I guess if you can test the card in another computer to see if it works or does the same ??

then if you cant unselect anything in the driver package software add on's then I guess just try the full package of a older driver and see where it ends up ?

I been a fan of AMD cards up to 7000 series and then seen the driver deal after 13.12 and just went to NVidia at least this card and its support still fully supports ME and my needs

but you can see with there 10 series cards that's now changed as well just lie with NVidia there way or no way you support them


let let this ride wile you work on it some and see if someone else posts with some better help ??? maybe with something I missed

i dont have a buddy to test this thing... ill try something else... 🙁

 

[junkeymonkey]

sorry , I was sure hoping a clean custom driver install would of got that working as far as the driver and the card goes

if anything else pops in to mind I will post back just with out some way to test the rest like in another computer to see if it in fact due to the card / driver software or something else went wrong in your system like power supply or hard drive all you can do is guess away at it

good luck

Hey man,i put my old R7 240 in,installed a clean Windows 7 64 bit,and installed old drivers,cause new ones were showing ''Not Respoding''.
Now its good,but tomorrow ill try with my main gpu... Thanks for the effort

 

[junkeymonkey]

well could be something up with that latest driver you were using and corrupted things ?? looks like you maybe back on track

I would think if you go back to the 370 card and this pops up again maybe something up with the card ?? hope not and hope you good luck

Hey man,i managed to get it to work... i think it was something with drivers... i installed a clean windows 8.1 and it works now. But now it detecs my GPU as a Radeon R9 200 series. Thanks for helping me btw.

 

[junkeymonkey]

may look at stuff as this on that ?

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2934781/find-amd-200-series.html

never know when you get a fast one pulled on you and maybe why your having the driver install issues ?/ the driver maybe having issue detecting what card it really is and cant unpack correctly ??

good luck
