So,around 1 month ago i started having a issue where my AMD drivers wouldn't launch on startup (monitor back to 60hz instead 144hz, and radeon driver application not showing up on system tray). when i tried launching it'll say "No AMD driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware". When i look in my device manager my GPU is not enabled, and if i enable it manually it pulls up the AMD bug report tool telling me the drivers cant initialize properly. After it first started happening i used the amd driver installer to uninstall and reinstall the drivers which didn't work, i used DDU to try and fix it but that didnt work either. since those both failed i decided to reinstall windows which seemed to work until tonight. i cant figure out what the problem is, Could it be a hardware issue? my gpu is pretty old and has alot of hours on it but during the two-ish week period where the drivers were working it seemed to operate just fine.
any help would be super cool, thanks :)
