>>SOLVED<< Screen turns green on Windows 7 startup

[Arctic_Freezer]

Greetings LTT, 

first off, i´d like to apolgize if i make any mistakes typing in english. i´ll try my best. 

 

So today i was playing Space engineers like always and suddenly the game froze. i wasn´t concerned and simply restarted my PC. When i started playing again after about two minutes later the same thing happened. 

I thought it was a problem regarding the game itself or the things i downloaded from the steam workshop so i was forced to restart my pc for the second time. but then, when i tried to launch Win7 in normal mode my screen turned green. i got no audio feedback, nor i was able to do anything but to restart it for the third time. the same thing happened again so the fourth time i restarted my pc i launched it in secure mode with internet drivers allowed. (i hope thats the correct term in english but you problably understand what i mean). thats how i am able to write this thread. my AMD Radeon software told me that there was a driver update so i downloaded it with my crappy internet connection, though it didnt reconize my hardware and simply aborted. so i kinda have two problems here. first off my driver doesent install and i have no idea what to do about that and second of course my screen turns green while booting Win7. I made sure there wasn´t any problem with my screen, after all it works in secure mode and before the windows startup flawless. 

 

My Hardware specs as far as i remember are: 

- AMD Radeon HD 7500 GPU

- intel i5 quad core (i have no idea which, please have mercy)

and i run windows 7 64 bit

i think the rest is not really important. 

 

To either the LTT-Team or the community, thank you in advance. you guys rock.

 

EDIT:

after a few tests i figured out, yes it´s my GPU: since the new generation of cards is out i found myself buying the GTX1060 and... my pc works again!

thank you very much for your help. its not so bad that my four year old AMD GPU died, it served its purpose well and now i got a way faster one.

Sounds like a failing GPU.

If you got onboard graphics, remove your Radeon GPU and try booting with the onboard one. This would show weather its the GPU or not.

 

Other options would be:

Turn off your PC, check if all the cables are connected properly then turn it on again and check if all the fans spin up and if you can get into windows now (outside safemode).

-> if you can, get a temp measurement programm, (HWinfo, afterburner, AIda64) and check your temperatures - in idle and after a cold-reboot I'd say neither your GPU nor CPU should be above 50°C

 

 

and for your GPU driver issue:

Get DDU, run it, let it clean your system from all AMD drivers ever and then install the newest GPU driver available. Do all of that in safemode.

thank you very much i will try all of these out.

well i know its isnt any of the cables, i doublechecked that already.

i´ll report back to you in two weeks because i am going on vecation tomorrow (yea, good time to open up a thread). i wasnt expecting anyone to reply that fast. 

greetings

also, 

 

try to remove your graphic card and run only cpu (it has a graphic card inside) if everything runs fine (after a moment because windows will have to install you CPU graphic card drivers) then your graphic card is guilty.

Did you overclock your GPU ?

greetings people

 

so yea, sorry for the late reply. 

after a few tests i figured out, yes it´s my GPU: since the new generation of cards is out i found myself buying the GTX1060 and... my pc works again!
