GPU won't output to desktop.

Hey guys, I'm typing this up using my motherboard's integrated graphics. For some reason, my AMD Radeon R7 260 just won't show anything—my monitor stays pitch black—even though the integrated graphics work fine. Everything was running smoothly until I decided to pop in an extra stick of RAM. 😢 I've already tried every single RAM combination possible, mixing the old stick with the new one, but still nothing on the dedicated card. The GPU fans are spinning like they should, so I'm totally stumped on where things went wrong. Thanks in advance for any help!

Go into your Control Panel, open up Device Manager, and find that AMD Radeon R7 260. Just right-click it and hit uninstall. Or, you know, just use the actual uninstaller program for that graphics card if you want to be thorough. Once it's gone, just grab the driver online or use the CD if you still have it lying around and reinstall everything.

Problem solved, but now I've run into a new headache. My RAM isn't playing nice together. -.-

I'm running an ASUS H81 M-K with a single 4GB stick of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 at 1.5V 1600MHz and a single 8GB stick of Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 at 1.5V 1866MHz.

The motherboard only works when I use the Corsair stick alone. But back when I was using integrated graphics, it recognized both sticks perfectly and showed me 12GB usable.

Try updating your motherboard BIOS. They might have pushed a fix for memory compatibility in a recent version.

Posting from a burner account because they wouldn't let me use my main one... anyway... finally sorted out that whole mess by updating the motherboard BIOS. Problem solved!
