PC Loses Input

Hi all.

In the last 10 mins or so I've had this weird issue where I join a server and then my pc seems to lose the HDMI input to my tv (dat setup) and it shows a HDMI blank screen. When it just happened again, it was the moment I picked a class (scout, if that is at all useful).

WTF?

Shit, now my PC doesn't show on HDMI at all now. I was restarting and it showed up, but now nothing. Errr, any ideas chaps?

When I plug my laptop into my tv, HDMI shows my laptop screen, so I assume it's an issue with my PC
Okay I found another random HDMI port and it works, so it must be my main HDMI port is randomly fucked

Now it says I have no AMD driver. Kill me.

AdebisiNow it says I have no AMD driver.

Maybe you have no AMD driver.
Have you tried having an AMD driver?

deffo sounds like a driver or gpu issue. clean your drivers with DDU then reinstall them, maybe try reinstall an old version if you think that could be the issue too.

I've had the drivers installed and working fine but just today I have had this happen.

I uninstalled my drivers and I'm just reinstalling. I'll try with DDU if this fails, thank you.

I have installed the driver and when I go to install it again through setup.exe, it says it's already installed. However, I can see no sign of it and I don't know how to access the settings for it. BEfore I had a useful program that did it.

Uninstalling with DDU didn't work?

Are you on Windows 10?

Sorry I'd already started uninstalling without DDU when I read the comments.

Yeah Windows 10 mate. 64 bit.

I've installed it again but I don't even know how to access it all. My AMD icon is gone from the hidden icons section of the desktop, and it's not in my start menu. Fuck

DDU does not depend on you finding the AMD icon. Uninstall properly with DDU, then try again.

Also Windows 10 likes to randomly "update" your drivers with a freshly microsoft approved version which is a year old and doesn't support the GPU you're using. I'm not kidding.

Alright man, I did the DDU uninstall and reinstalled the driver. I believe it said it was successful, so I restarted my PC just because

Now what do I do? How do I access it?

I don't think so.
In the past, every time I changed my driver my screen ended up being too zoomed in so I can't see the edges of the screen.
It's like that now.

Err I used to have an AMD program where I could open it and fix the resolution so the screen size fit my TV. Now I have nothing where I can go in and tweak things. I don't know how I even tell if the driver is working.

Well are you still losing input?

I think you mean AMD Catalyst. It's probably there. Have you tried the search function?

No, but the input problem seemed to stop when I switched HDMI ports.

When I search 'AMD', all that comes up is the AMD folder.

When I go on TF2, my graphics are shit and there is no sound.

I guess the driver isn't working

Try searching for "Catalyst".

How did you install the driver?

Also since you "found another random HDMI port" I'm guessing that one is up high on the motherboard from the integrated GPU and only one is actually from the discrete GPU down on the bottom. Which one are you using right now and which one were you using before?

I just downloaded the driver and then ran it it from downloads i think.

Err I was using the lower one and now I am using the higher one yeah.

Yeah, but which driver did you download?

Could I get a picture? Because usually the AMD GPU would be the lower one and you used an AMD program for settings before, but since it just now started asking for that driver I'd rather make sure it's not one of those weird "Hey let's flip everything upside down" PCs.

GPU-Z might also be useful to figure out which GPU you're using anyway, if you don't know. CPU would be interesting to know too. CPU-Z, when in doubt.

Here's the pic

No idea then, the program should be installed as well. Maybe search for Crimson, no idea what it's listed as in windows programs.

Picture? Still guessing whether or not you've actually plugged it into the GPU now.

Just used DDU again and reinstalled. It got to 2% and then said it was done and installed :S

This is the driver download : non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.11.4-nov15

I just checked Device Manager and I can't even see my graphics card. I should be able to, right?

HDMI is currently in my motherboard whereas before I used to have it in my graphics card (i believe), but today it stopped working and went black screen.

Did you edit right after you posted?
I swear the post ended right after "270x".

And it does indeed need to be in the lower one, otherwise you're not using your GPU.

Sorry I had a brainfart.

I opened my pc and pushed all the cables in and i think that's what fucked everything. My pc now seems to recognise that my graphics card is connected and it's installing the software. It seems to be doing it properly this time.

I think I have fixed it. Sorry for wasting your time aha

On a sidenote, I don't suppose you know why my crosshairswitcher crosshairs are always really small and even on 'huge', seems tiny?
