About this tag
The Radeon HD 7870 is a graphics card that can cause black screen issues on Windows 7, particularly after the Windows logo appears during startup. Users have reported crashes during gaming, such as in Morrowind, leading to boot failures where the system restarts after a black screen. Safe Mode often works, allowing driver removal or reinstallation. Troubleshooting typically involves uninstalling the current video driver in Safe Mode and installing a different version, such as moving from a beta driver to a newer release. The card is commonly paired with Intel i5 processors and 8 GB of RAM in Windows 7 64-bit systems.
