#Windows 10 graphics card issues drivers#
I've contacted AMD, Sapphire, and Microsoft support so hopefully that turns up something. Solution 3: Install Graphics Card Drivers Automatically. I've also run Display Driver Uninstaller and redownloaded AMD software version 18.1.1, but it still won't install, giving me the same Error 173, saying there's no AMD graphics hardware.īetween everything else failing and the brief burnt plastic smell right as it failed last night, I'm suspecting the card itself has been damaged.įurther Edit Lots of great advice here but no dice. When I plug either monitor into the GPU, it changes from "not connected" to "no signal." Not sure if that helps at all. I've pulled out the graphics card and reinserted it plus checked the connections to make sure everything's hooked up properly. Any inklings of what I can try to get things working again? I'm suspecting something with the Win10 update messed with the card and now it's overheated and bricked itself. Haven't found any problems but I'll keep troubleshooting it. I then checked all the cables and connections to make sure everything was OK on that front. I tried three different AMD installations (the main driver software suite, the AMD chipsets, and the more bare-bones Catalyst I believe), all of which bailed out after returning that error. Running that brought up an Error 173: AMD Graphics Hardware Was Not Found.
I grabbed a spare HDMI cable and plugged the main monitor into the mobo directly, and looked at some help forums while I downloaded the newest AMD software. The fan on the processor seemed to be fine. I couldn't confirm whether the fans had been working. The GPU seemed warm, but not unusually hot. I turned it off with the power button and let it sit for a few minutes while I opened up the tower to take a look at things. I smelled something like plastic burning, and the power button on the computer went solid red. I booted it back up and it played normally for about 3 minutes with ~160 FPS at max settings, after which both of my monitors switched off (sound was still working fine). After installing, I browsed the web for a little bit after, and an hour or so ago started a game of Heroes of the Storm. The problem started after I updated Windows this morning to Windows 10 (64 bit) Version 9 Build 16299. Reposting here to see if anyone can shine a light on what's going on, since I'm thinking it's probably more a Windows problem than an AMD problem. As I posted here on the AMD forums, the latest Windows 10 upgrade seems to have mucked up my Sapphire Radeon R9 Nitro graphics card.
