Hi,

Ever since I installed Windows -8 Pro ( 64 bit ) on my MultiMonitor system, all my screens go black with following error message.

" AMD Drivers stopped Responding & has Recovered"

It happens so many times an hour that I had to stop usingWindows -8 completely.
Even the worst thing is that if I have more than one harddrive & driver crashes, then on next reboot my system automatically startsdisk checking which takes hours for a 3.0 GB slave HDD.
I never had thisproblem with Windows -7 using the same system.

My system configuration is as follows.

Dell T-7500 Workstation.

Intel Xeon E5645 2.4GHz
12 GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Fire Pro 2460 Video Cards ( 3 of them. Each supports 4Monitors )
12 Dell 24 inch ( 1920x1200) Monitors

I downloaded AMD Drivers for workstation & FirePro 2460Video card from following AMD Links.

AMD has not updated Drivers since December 2012.

I will appreciate any & all help.

I see that Dell lists the T7500 as OK for a Win8 upgrade, although they appear to have no Win8 drivers available for download for it.

I see that they have a BIOS update, A15, dated 2/27/2013. Does that make any difference?

You may not find a respondent here with 12 monitors. Good luck.
