Windows 7 Display Driver Crashes in Normal Windows Mode

[sohawar]

Everything was working great for almost 6 months but 3 weeks before while my pc was idle suddenly some graphic display glitches came up and my keyboard and mouse froze up, so I had to do a hard reset by pressing the power button.

There used to be GSOD when windows login screen comes up.

If I boot in safe mode I can use the device manager to uninstall the AMD 7800 driver which replaces it with the stock "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" drivers, then reboot in normal mode and everything works.

After 2 to 3 days, everythings went back to normal and I was able to install the display drivers. So after 1 week passes, suddenly the GSOD came back randomly. It randomly appears on screen sometimes after 7 hours or somestimes 4h etc. Everytime the keyboard and mouse didn't responded and i had to do hard reset.

Link Removed

Now from the last 3 to 4 days, I can't even get into windows normal mode. After the windows logo loading screen, nothing appears, the screen just goto black as normal (As if it trying to load the windows) and again I have to do a hard reset.

I only get the crashes if I Install Display Driver and let the system reboot.

I tried the different card (Nvidia 7300GT) but same problem. Only happens when I install display driver and let the system restart.

Temperatures are normal as well. So far I've disabled the display driver from device manager and using the standard one without any issues.


Things I tried:

Fresh install of Windows 7 twice
Driver Sweeper and re-installing different versions of catalyst like 12.11 and 13.4
Updating the BIOS and Downgrading the BIOS
Loading Default BIOS Settings
Changing the cables (Right Now Using DVI to HDMI, also tried VGA to VGA)
Replacing the RAMS one by one
Memory Checks with no errors
Placing the Card in different PCI slots
Disconnecting harddrives and installing windows in both harddrives, just to check the drives seperately
Installing Chipset and updating the drivers


Please help me out, I'm clueless now Thanks

It seems like you've been experiencing quite a frustrating issue with your system, specifically related to graphic display glitches, GSOD (Green Screen of Death), keyboard and mouse freezing, and system crashes after installing display drivers. Here are some detailed steps and insights to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issues you are facing:

Initial Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Safe Mode Resolution:
   • The fact that the system works in Safe Mode indicates that the issue might be related to a specific driver or software conflict when running in normal mode.
   []Graphics Driver:
   • The issue seems to be triggered by the installation of display drivers. This could point towards a driver conflict or a hardware issue related to the graphics card.
   []Hardware Testing:
   • You've already taken some steps to test the hardware (switching to an Nvidia card, swapping RAM, moving the GPU to different slots), ruling out some common hardware causes.
   []BIOS and Default Settings:
   • Resetting the BIOS to default settings is a good step to eliminate any potential BIOS configurations causing conflicts.

     Additional Steps to Consider:​

   []Driver Cleanup:
   • Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove any remnants of previous AMD/Nvidia drivers before reinstalling the latest drivers.
   []Windows Updates:
   • Ensure that Windows is fully updated, including optional updates related to drivers and compatibility.
   []Event Viewer Logs:
   • Check the Event Viewer logs for any specific error messages or warnings that might provide clues about what is causing the crashes.
   []System File Checker (SFC):
   • Run an SFC scan to check for and repair any corrupted system files that might be contributing to the issue.
   []Graphics Card Testing:
   • Consider testing the graphics card in another system to verify if the issue follows the card.
   []External Factors:
   • Check for any external factors like power fluctuations, loose connections, or issues with the display cables.

     Possible Solutions:​

   []Driver Version:
   • Try different versions of AMD/Nvidia drivers to see if a particular version is more stable with your system configuration.
   []System Restore Point:
   • Consider restoring your system to a point before the issues started if you have a restore point available.
   []Professional Diagnosis:
   • If the issue persists, considering consulting a professional technician for a detailed diagnosis of your hardware components. Given the extensive troubleshooting steps you've already taken, these additional suggestions might help pinpoint the root cause of the problem and lead to a resolution. Let me know if you need further guidance on any specific steps you'd like to take.
