I installed 8.1 a while back, and recently I've been constantly getting the message that the display adapter has stopped responding and has recovered. So off to Google for a a solution.
It seems I have to update the driver for my gpu, which is a sapphire radeon hd7700 series, less than a year old. I'm already using the 14.4 64bit driver which is the latest. So I tried the rc beta, exactly the same result. Uninstalling the driver, using an amd tool to completely remove the drivers gives me a basic adapter with a microsoft driver. Updating the driver from the adapter properties tells me I already have the best driver installed. During the writing of this post the adapter has reset the display twice!
Do I have to invest in a new gpu card, which by the way would use the same driver as I've looked at an r7 250 2gb gpu.
The thing is, the adapter doesn't reset if I'm gaming, I can run Wolfenstein New Order no problems at all. It occurs on start-up, and if I view a video on facebook or youtube. So I have re-installed the flash player which didn't help. Also watching a video on gom player is no problem either.
There just doesn't seem to be a fix. Should I be looking at downloading earlier drivers, say 13 series and trying it or is this a windows 8.1 bug? Anyone got any thoughts on this? Cheers.
