AMD Driver Problem

[LeviTheLeaf]

I've come back to my pc after 3 months. Updated windows and then went to update my graphic card drivers. I have a AMD 390X. Couldn't find how to update them via the software so I decided to download them off the AMD site.

Before I downloaded the driver I used the AMD uninstall program in the driver files so I could start from fresh. Ran the program and restarted my PC.

The problem is the new drivers won't install. Once I press install on the driver it'll appear in task manager for a while and then disappear. Any ideas

i5 6600k

AMD R9 390x

Just tried that, same problem.

My display adaptor is being detected as "Microsoft basic display driver" if that's any help

 Are you sure that you are installing the right drivers for your system (e.g. installing windows 32bit on a windows 64bit system).

I was about to link him/her to a forum that included that app but whatever.

It just places the files in the install location, stays as a open task in task manager for about 1 minute and then just goes

You should see how many people are having the same problem...

Try contacting AMD and see if they can help.

If they can't help you, then give them this lovely meme...

I almost want to make that my profile picture...

Reset windows, fixed. 

Thanks for the help

Thanks. But you shouldn't thank us as we didn't do enough to be thanked.
