Hi there,
I was recently asked to repair a friend's computer and have gone through reinstalling windows twice because of this issue and it has showed its face once again.
The issue has to do with the Radeon driver. Everytime I install it, when I reboot, it shows me the HP logo and bootloader and even the Windows 7 loading screen but soon after that, the screen just turns off (yes, even the backlight). I could not find a way around this issue except going to SafeMode and uninstalling the driver from Device Manager and then normally booting back.
I downloaded the driver from the official HP site ( If you have trouble finding it, go to the Middle Eastern version of this website). I installed a lot of applications for my friend and decided to try the older version of the driver to see if it worked. Unfortunately when I tried it and restarted, the same thing happened except this time I coudln't go in to SafeMode even though technically I was there.
The resolution and sizes of all the components (taskbar, windows, etc...) have become impossible to use.
What can I do to resolve this problem without reinstalling? And if I do reinstall, how do I install the driver properly?
Thanks for yout time.
