Hi, I'm in the process of building an HTCP and am running into a very strange problem. My build is the following:
Mobo: ASROCK FM2A75M-ITX
CPU: AMD A4-5300k
OS: Win7 64-bit
Connected to monitor via HDMI for now
After getting Windows installed without any problems, I downloaded and installed the drivers (from another computer onto a flash drive) here :
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A75M-ITX/?cat=Download
First I installed the AMD All-in-one, which worked fine. Then Realtek LAN and Audio, which were okay. Then I tried the VGA driver, but after rebooting the all the colors in Windows were suddenly wrong; it's hard to describe but you could barely if at all read the text on screen and it looked kinda psychedelic. Meanwhile, safe mode was fine and the BIOS setup screen showed normal colors, so I did a system restore that the last install had created (actually for the Visual C++ components) to fix it.
I thought the original VGA driver download might have been corrupted, so in safe mode I uninstalled everything AMD and downloaded the latest Catalyst Drivers (13.9) straight from AMD since I had internet now. But after that, on rebooting suddenly my screen was letterboxed on all sides! I did a little googling and found that enabling GPU scaling in the CCC should fix that. I found it and did so, which fixed the letterbox...but brought the funky colors back. So it's Image scaling=funky colors, no image scaling=letterboxed. Finally, just changing the monitor resolution causes funky colors AND letterboxing. So I finally used the Catalyst uninstaller to ONLY remove the video driver, and also the CCC itself since I got an error about it.
So I've got an A4 without graphics, which kind of defeats the purpose of it. Anyone have ideas on what might be up?
