RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Hi all I've just had a Graphics Update from Radeon (AMD) and it's left me without any Radeon graphics The PC is a dual graphics card PC with two Radeon R7 200 cards driving 4 displays. I've just one display on and Windows can't find any further displays. Neither of the display adaptors shows in Win 10 Device manager and the driver is shown as Window basic graphic driver. In the UEFI there are no peripheral graphics cards shown and I can't find an option to add any, in fact there are no graphics settings obviously available. There is always a graphics setting for boot up, why can't I find one? Any attempt to cannect to AMD/Radeon and re-do the grahics update is met with "can't access website, no network adaptor present" which is obviously wrong as I am posting this. I'm totally stumped. Any ideas? Edited February 21, 2020 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2020 Don't know about the problem but I'd start with one card and one display and move forward from there. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 21, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2020 Panic over. I decide to try an install of a slightly earlier version of the driver and it all switched back on and is working as it should Even the icons are back where the should be. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTheBest Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Installation of earlier versions is very common solution for such problems. I had exactly the same problem and i did the same thing. Edited March 18, 2020 by JamesTheBest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium StevieD71 Posted March 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2020 I had a Radeon card a few years ago which behaved the same way. It worked perfectly with the drivers that came on the CD in the box, but wouldn't accept any updated drivers at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Perhaps part of the problem might be that AMD have effectively abandoned Crossfire (much like nVidia have abandoned mostly SLI in favour of the newer method their Quadro cards use) and that the R7 cards are a little old comparatively to the current crop. Check the latest driver information and see if it says something along the lines of dropping support for certain cards and features (such as Crossfire). I expect one of the next updates for nVidia will start dropping support for 900 series cards at some point (I have a 970). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
