AMD Catalyst 15.6 Beta Driver for Windows OS out now

I never had this problem. And then I switched from HDMI to DVI cable connection. Then it kept happening every now and again. OS keeps working, but it can't detect the monitor.

I changed the CPU (replaced Athlon x4 750K with A10-7870K) and it has not happened again, but it's still too early to call (Kaveri has PCIe 3.0 support so it could have something to do with this)

For me these things work:
- restart (obvious)
- re-connect the DVI cable (monitor is detected as a new device, desktop icons are messed up because it probably defaults to a lower resolution without a monitor)
- blindly set another display configuration with Win+P (press Win+P, down arrow, Enter; display is on at this point, so just return to original configuration) - someone on this forum suggested this

 

Nope, I have Haswell Refresh with H97 chipset (PCIe 3.0) and still experienced this black screen bug...

I even got a BSOD while turning on my monitor yesterday.
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED fault of atikmdag.sys according to the memdump reader.

Thanks AMD! :bang:

 

If it is a power bug, then it only seems tied to 7 or 8.1, and non-motherboard (had it happen on 3 different boards) and GPU (had a few different 7850 cards) specific.

I'm not sure how to narrow down the problem at all at this point, but it does seem safe to say Windows 10 is unaffected, for me anyway.

I had a H97 motherboard that had the issue present on it as well, so it doesn't seem to be PCI-e 3.0 specific either.

 

i had it with a 7970 and a P67, a mobo bios update fixed it for me.

 

This thread is still a sticky?
