So, I bought an R7 250. It worked fine after I put in the case and booted up, but after I installed the drivers and rebooted after the "Starting Windows" screen the PC just stops responding and there's a black screen.

I've installed different driver versions ranging from 13.12, 14.9, 14.11, 14.10. All of them result in the same black screen.

I'm going to try reinstalling windows now and see if that does anything. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

So It Gives Display... Hmm. Try Force Install Drivers. But Do Uninstall all drivers using DDU then Boot into windows (normal mode).

Go into Device Manager then double click display adapters then double click your AMD r7 250 then it will open a new window go to drivers > click update drivers > choose browse my computer for drivers > click browse > Go to (C: > AMD > *Stable Drivers* like 14.8 etc. > *your OS Version* Like win 7 > Click ami87 or whatever *similar* there is then click ok. it should install the drivers. Reboot and See if it gives display.

Try Using Another Port And see if it works maybe the resolution's causing the problem ?

I don't have a DVI cable, but I don't think that's the issue. The PC completely stops responding after the "Starting Windows" screen.

If it was resolution problem then I should still be able to hear sounds and be able to use the keyboard etc.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
