    Hi guys, been a while since I've been on the forums, but I have recently had a problem regarding the 5870m on my gx660r and was wondering if anyone knew a solution or if my card just hit the dust....

    Okay so, i recently updated my drivers to 10.12 along with the ccc. After that, everything was working fine and I even played 30 mins of DIRT 2 maxed out. Later, I went to boot up my laptop and the resolution was all big, and when i tried to open up ccc it said something like hardware not detected... So I attempted to uninstall cc and the drivers for the 5870m and reinstall, but upon installing it would say that I don't have the right hardware. If I try to install from an earlier driver, it will not let my install ccc or the display driver, just the install manager and microsoft C++... I've tried many different catalyst versions and restore points, but nothing seems to work. Do you think my card just died on me, because that seems logical as it was working fine and then suddenly it could not detect my 5870m.... I have w7 64 bit btw..

    Thanks

    Never used drivers or bios updates thus far and my temps are awesome i think you should try and reinstall windows or find a fix your gpu just does not die out of nowhere if the card was dieing your pc would shut down anyway to not cause any more death.
