AMD driver problems?

I noticed when I turn off my display and back on again somewhat kind often would get no signal. I would have unplug the cable from the port and back in again and it will almost always work. Other times I would have to restart my system. I am connected with HDMI from my GPU to my TV. I have noticed that I never had this problem when I was using my Nvidia card. So I'm thinking it's a driver problem. So is this a well known common problem with AMD? Or is something else going on?

So, you upgraded from an nvidia graphics card to an AMD graphics card??? Did you use DDU to nuke the nvidia drivers from the system? 

 

If not, use DDU and reinstall AMD drivers.

I second running DDU to remove any leftover nVidia driver files, etc.

I remember testing a GTX 760 back in the day for a friend in my system; I was running an AMD graphics card.

Didn't have issues uninstalling the AMD Drivers, popping the GTX 760 into my system and installing nVidia Drivers.

 

When it came to putting my AMD graphics card back into the system, THAT was when weird things were happening.

I didn't run DDU (I didn't have to when making the swap from AMD -> nVidia).

The left over driver files / junk was interfering with the AMD Drivers.

Running DDU and starting fresh fixed it.

I doubt this is the problem. Linus did a video where he was using a AMD card card and an Nvidia one simultaneously without any problems.

Yes but he was running them simultaneously and you are not so many things will just default to your only GPU it may sound silly but so is simply restarting your system and look at how many problems that fixes.

I'm doubtful it will fix anything but I'll give it a go

That's the spirit, 80% of troubleshooting generally revolves around this concept lol.

I have now uninstalled Nvidia and AMD drivers, restarted my system, Installed latest AMD Drivers and restarted again after that. Now only time will tell if this did anything
