AMD have their own way of installing/unistalling GPU drivers and they have it on their website. It works well. Just this is more thorough. Nice write up DiceHunter.

Thank you, I also do this with my AMD GPU as well *6970* and works well
I did try AMDs way from their website using their App but it gave me problems as well as quite a few others.

Well they did as of a few months ago have an app called AMD Clean Uninstall Utility but a lot of people were having problems with it so they must of removed it.

Ah yes you are right. I just follow the instructions they have they don't require any programs. Simple really.

Let's hope this has sorted my random black screens and AMD display driver stopped unexpectedly. Tried uninstalling and re-installing driver before but not like this, I just went into control panel, programs and files before. And all cables and everything are fine.

Which drivers does GPU-Z say you have?

err you shouldn't have 'nvidia chipset' ticked in the driver cleaner thing dude, only gpu and physx.
I have a very similar set of instructions i follow religiously for every driver update. so it's good someone has written a similar thing as I haven't got around to it.
I find frequently that the number 1 cause of issues is a bad driver install.

It's reading correctly catalyst 14.4 which is the latest, not sure what it was saying before I tried this method of re-installing.
Everything seems to be okay atm though. It would have usually crashed by now.
I have gone through quite a few driver updates on this windows installation though.

Yeah clear it all up and start again (driver wise). I got lazy at one point and it went belly up a few driver updates later.
As always, if 14.4 seems to be too unstable I'd reccomend going to 13.5. Old but solid.

It's an option in place for people who do run nforce boards, I dont have Creative or an AMD GPU either but the options are there just in case you want them.
