System:
Radeon HD 5870 2GB (GigaByte version)
Intel i7 930 Stock
G Skill 3x2GB DDR3 1600mhz stock
ASROCK X58 MoBo
Corsair 750w
My system has been stable, was running fine on 10.4 drivers for months (since I built it in April) and never bothered to updated (I don't update unless something is broken - I should stick to that haha.)
Updated through Steam just to try the function out, and I wanted to play with MLAA - thinking Steam would do the most latest update 10.10e at the time (for MLAA on 5k series) but it gave me plain 10.10 with no MLAA.
Downloaded 10.10e directly from ATI and just installed, didn't do a prior uninstall.
I guess this screwed something up. I wanted to update to 10.12 after reading the article posted here.
Tried to uninstall through Windows Programs Uninstall and AMD Driver Manager crashed. Tried to install newest ATI drivers from AMD website (10.12 with CCC2 Preview) again AMD driver manager crashed.
Downloaded Driversweeper and clicked the ATI option, analyze + clean. Rebooted. Found ATI stuff still in my computer. Manually removed from Registry, rebooted, was able to delete remaining ATI folders.
Again AMD Driver Manage crashes. Now I got no drivers installed and I can't figure out how to install them.
Ran Everything as Administrator. I'd hate to have to use Steam again. Any suggestions?
Update:
Not sure what did it, but this is what I finally got to fix it.
1. DriverSweeper/CCCleaner - no ATI/AMD files showed.
2. Reinstalled MS VC++ 2005 Distro
3. Used Setup.exe within the Bin64 folder, not the standard one in the main install folder.
4. Installed EXPRESS (first time, I always use Custom)
5. Win
Not happy using the Express Method, but it works for now so I won't cry. Not happy with this driver experience but I think I broke it by using Steam and not removing the Steam install before install a direct ATI install. So, yeah, not going to use Steam anymore haha.
