Old hard drive went out so got a new one, everything works fine til I try to install my video card drivers, at which point the screen becomes all pixelated and off colored, as soon as you uninstall the video card driver it goes back to normal. I remember this happening a year ago when I first built this computer but I forgot how I fixed it oddly enough. I've tried every stable and beta driver listed on http://www.sapphiretech.com/presenta...=&lid=1&leg=0# no difference between them.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

CPU- AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX

GPU- SAPPHIRE 100358OCL Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card

Memory- G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR

PSU- Thermaltake - 430W TR2 ATX Power Supply

Hard drive- Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EADS 2TB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Case- Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

This is what it looks without drivers

Here's what it's doing after installing drivers

We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.

I would recommed installing the drivers directly from AMD

http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/7000/7700#

recently i updated my driver and had a problem where some colors become pink/purple, it might be something similar that you need to configure in the Catalyst Control Center of AMD
The images reminds me when you change from 16bit colors to 32colors or something like that.

Dont download the drivers from Sapphire, just get them from AMD's site since it is an AMD GPU. You could also try downloading SlimDrivers which is a freeware cloud based driver source that will find every driver possible for your system. Just make sure to choose "custom installation" if it prompts you so you can deselect the bloatware they opt you in to (it's not spyware, just AVG antivirus and Google toolbar or something).

bye now

Downloaded SlimDrivers and got all updates, still does the same thing as every other driver I've tried.

Bought a new Raedon 260x, and having the exact same issue with it.

AMD support just gave me a copy/paste message about making sure to run their uninstaller first before updating drivers which I've done countless times.
