You sure the card is good? Can you get into windows from safe mode?

Yes I was in safe mode normally

You should be able to manually install the drivers in safe mode, if they install properly, but windows will not boot into normal mode properly, then it's possible the video card is bad.

sounds like you might have installed the wrong drivers.

 

try to get into safe mode and uninstall the driver and redownload them from AMDs website

How can I get into safe mode now when i dont have the display?

while not the ideal way, you don't really have much of a choice. you will need to interupt the normal boot sequence 3 times to force it into Recovery mode and then (hopefully) be able to select safe mode as a boot option.

 

When the computer is booting, you will need to hold down the power button once you see the windows logo with the circling dots to force it to shut down again,

do this 2 more times and it should say that it's going into the Windows Recovery Environment.

you will then need to select

Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.

 

upon the next restart you will have a black screen with white text that you can select with your keyboard and choose "safe mode" as the boot option.

Okay so I've gotten into a safe mode and I forgot to mention that I'm running the card on a shit board currently... It is an Mobo with max of 2GB RAM so even the safe mode is stuttery af

and if I go into Device Manager I can see normally the GPU driver showing AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series

Hello, so I have a Msi Radeon HD 6850 Cyclone 1GB GDDR5 and when i'm in bios the card works perfectly fine, but when i go to fresh install on windows and install drivers for that GPU i get a black screen, it has a signal cuz the monitor doesn't turn off it is on an it is more grey than black, I tried to go to safe mode which again works and it even shows me the correct driver, uninstall it with DDU and going again to windows, again the same, black screen. When i tried to Install Windows 7 32-bit because im currently testing this GPU on a shit board where I can install max of 2GB RAM I installed the driver once again and it didn't crash, i was like what it can't be windows 7, so it offered me to restart so i restarted and it worked once again, I wanted to go to device manager and see the acutal driver but when i cliked the arrow that shows me the driver it got black screened, i restarted and when i tried to open youtube, so until i want to do something more advanced on gpu it works fine, is the card some kinda dead or?

You already asked this question here:

Your GPU is dead (or the board's PCIe lane is toast)

yes I know, nobody answered me anymore. I was just wondering why it works and if it has any solution..

The card is dead, it'll display basic graphical objects because there is no stress on the card, but the moment you try to do anything with it, it dies.
