What does device manager look like? Are there any devices with a yellow question/exclamation marks?

There are fortunately no question nor exclamation marks.

I just did another restart of my PC and it's fixed the issue. I restarted after all my driver installations so not sure why this specific restart fixed it, but hey that's good!
Thx for the help :)

Hi there,

I recently built my first PC. My monitor will take another ~2 weeks to arrive, so I'm using my old 720p TV from 2009 connected using the HDMI cable that came with my PS4. After installing Windows 10, my pc output 1280x720 to my 1280x720 TV; hoorah! However, after installing 5700xt drivers from AMD, the display locked at 640x480. I have tried reinstalling & deleting+reinstalling the graphics drivers but to no avail.
Pls help!

Right click on start and click on device manager to get to device manager.

Print screen it and share if  you have these yellow bangs on anything.

 

I suggest this because it sounds like you might not have a chipset driver installed.

Daily driver (looking to upgrade mobo and cpu spring of 2021)   --- The only time I sort by price from high to low is when I am shopping for CPU's and GPU's (looking for a cheap i7-7700k though)
Mobo: ASRock Z170 Extreme7+  CPU: i7-6700K @ 4.6MHz OC  Cooling: Corsair H115i Hydro  Memory: TridentZ 32GB @ 3600MHz  GPU: EVGA 2070 FTW3 ULTRA+ (OC'd 50/300)  
PSU: Corsair HX850i   Storage: 980 Pro 1TB, 950 PRO 512Mb, (2)ADATA SU800 1TB  Keyboard: Logitech G910  Mouse: Logitech G502   Headset: Logitech G930 UPS: APC Pro 1500 S

Unraid box providing network routing, home automation services, and media services ( I love unraid!)

USB Key: SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit  Mobo: Intel DX79SR Extreme+  CPU: i7-3820  Memory: 16Gb Kingston HyperX Predator  Storage: (cache)480gb Micron SSD (1)8TB HDD (1) 4TB HDD  
GPU: MSI GTX 1650 4GT LP OC (passed through to Emby)  NIC: Intel I350-T4 4-port Gb (passed through to PFSense)  UPS: APC PRO 1000
Docker Containers: Emby and Home-Assistant-Core  Virtual machines: PFsense ( I love PFSense!)

Family machines
Mobo: Asus Prime H310M-E  CPU: Intel Core i3-9100F  Cooling: Deepcool Gammaxx 400  Memory: Teamgroup Elite Plus DDR4 16GB  Storage: Silicon Power 1TB NVMe M.2  
GPU: Asus GTX 1660 Super 6GB or EVGA 1070 FTW 8GB  PSU: Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+  UPS: APC XS 1300


As well as a number of other machines, a ton of parts, miles of cables, and who knows what else!
Private message me for quicker assistance. I also build and ship custom machines at a really fair price.

Id bet windows updates were happening in the background while you were doing other driver installs.

I always reboot multiple times after i think im done, and then check for updates again.

Not all updates can be installed at once, and it doesn't always update in order.

I suspect it was working on the chipset while you were doing other drivers or something like that.

 

And you are welcome. 🙂

 

Live long and prosper!
