Hi guys can anybody be so kind to help please I gave a 120hz 17x r5 and I have a 7970m I installed to replace my 780m as it was sold, now when I install the card its recognised in the bios but as soon as I install drivers I get a blank screen, can anybody help does it need a flash to a 8970m or m290x, appreciate any help

The hd7970m does not support the 120hz screen, I assume it only worked before because your 120hz screen was using your intel gpu to boot but after you installed the drivers it used your hd7970m. I suggest you get a different card. E.g. m290x, 780m 680m.
