Need Help- AMD Display Issue, New Win 7 Install

Odd Win 7 display issue

Okay, I've just done a legit Win 7 DVD install to an SSD. Activated, all good.

On trying to install the ATI 5450 display driver, it does install, swears to the gods it's “fine”, yet both my on-screen icons & taskbar are partially obscured?

I tried restarting, tried 70/75/85 htz nada.

WTH is going on? All I did was add an SSD?

Ideas?

    Under my digital flat panels there should be scaling options where you can adjust the underscan and overscan.

    Does your monitor have an "auto" button?

      The media PC has been in the main living room for some time. The screen is a FHD 40". I've removed the 500GB HDD for the time being, so I can create a fresh Win 7 install to a 120GB SSD in order to image it. Once it's imaged, I upgrade to 10 & image that. I then place the original HDD back.

      All I'm doing is future-proofing. I prefer 7 for as long as possible, but want a 10 image ready to go.

      So, prior to swapping the old HDD to a new SSD, the TV display was perfect.

      I have no idea why it refuses to display correctly now? Same PC, other than the SSD.

      And yes, I've tried ALL of the buttons on the TV itself. As I say— it works perfectly on the HDD if I place it back into the media PC.

    Go to www.drp.su , download and give a try.

      I have the full, off-line DP.

      But the driver from AMD is exactly the one I used previously.

      This is exactly what needs to be done.

    I've just been through EVERY setting in CCC—- nothing changes it.

    I put the old HDD in, all is fine. It is the SAME driver & the SAME PC & the SAME video card….

    PS: Overscan was already ticked. I unticked & saved. Then reticked & saved. Nada.

    Hopefully you get if fixed by the end of the year

      Of course it has to (profanity)-up at this late hour! I figured, drop a small SSD in & get it started- should take an hour or so—- nope!

      I guess I'll have to image 7 as-is, even if it's ridiculous & has no solution….ffs!

      Seriously- never have I seen this in 20 years of PC work.

    Got it!

    I completely removed ALL video drivers, restarted, reinstalled them. I then had the ability to adjust under/overscan (prior could tick/untick, but not slide).

    Ta & HNY all!
