hooray.
Any of you know anything about this stuff? I don't.
*Copies/pastes what I posted on another forum*
I just had the AMD 7770 installed by Best Buy, got it home, tried turning on Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2 and they both immediately freeze. I could play them before at low graphics, now I can't play them at all. I just spent $400 getting this card and having it installed, also had a new power supply installed (450W I think) because apparently I had a 250W one before, which "wasn't good enough". So, this new power supply STILL isn't good enough is what I'm thinking? UGHH.

Wow dude, Best Buy just raped you bad. Anyways, it's probably a driver issue. Did you install AMD Catalyst?

I honestly don't know. I just know that Best Buy/Geek Squad sucks ass. Can you get a refund on the instillation?

Try the advice here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=363299If none of that works, tell Best Buy to fix your ****, and do NOT let them charge you to fix their mistakes. Be an **** if you have to.

Genuinely doubt it. A 7770 costs $150 at most and a quality 450 psu costs $45 (Corsair 80 plus). You do the math.

I didn't install it, but it's on my computer... so I have it.  I don't know what to do with it though... ya LT they are retarded apparently. It also took me an hour to figure out how to turn this thing on after getting it back, they didn't tell me I had more things to plug my HDMI in to at the bottom, I had to call them to get that straightened out. Finally, I got it on... doesn't work. WOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOO

The 7770 was $200. The power supply, which apparently fails, costed $90 Each was supposed to have a $50 installation fee, but he charged $50 instead of $100. yippeee

oh, I didn't see this topic.
The first thing to do is to check your connections to the graphics card.
Make sure it is getting what it needs.
It may have come with molex adapters to convert the connections.
The next thing to do is to completely wipe the old drivers from the system.
I believe you should also run DXDIAG and then do all of the video tests and see if they are successful.
I will say try those first and then come back.
Also if you need hardware help, I can walk you through doing almost anything, step by step.

$50 for a 2 minute install. Sounds fair.

Hell no. Especially when there are over 5000 videos on how to do it. The toughest part is insalling a power supply because of all the connections and stuff. I tried doing that last week and failed miserably, but a quick google search led me to the motherboard's manual.

I didn't notice you paid them to do the job.
By all means, refund or have them fix it.
Make them test it on the spot.
