Sounds like physical damage to card. Maybe memory damage or something. Try get different drivers if possible. If that does not help, something is physically damaged, not the software side.

Re: AMD 7770 Drivers? Help
download this.
Driver Fusion - The Complete Driver Solution
install it, run it, completely uninstall the Radeon drivers.
REBOOT.
Do NOT allow the new hard ware wizard to install drivers.
Download the HD7770 drivers directly from either AMD.com or the GPU manufacturer's website.
Install the drivers, make sure to do a custom install so no junkware is added in the installation.
REBOOT.
You should then be good to go, though on some games you might need to delete the shaders caches once, especially with BF2 and PR.

Dang it,
See if you can uninstall the device in device manager.
See if you can revert drivers.
Please tell us,
manufacturer of the card,
motherboard,
operating system,
32 or 64 bit OS?

17. In the right hand window pane select the UpperFilters registry key and renamed it to 'UpperFilters.bak'As unlikely as it seems, I was able to resolve a VIDEO problem with this technique. The error seems to be common for CD/DVD's (think I saw it a couple years ago myself) but it can and does happen to other devices as well.
In my case, the video driver would not load properly. So I was stuck with generic standard VGA (stinks on my wide screen monitor!!!). Exact same error in Device Manager on the Display item (blah blah Code 19). Problem started after some incomplete patching after a reboot (tried to do too many patches at once I think).
So I went looking, and sure enough under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
there are about twenty similar looking keys
{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} vs.
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
-------^^
One had keys '(Default)' = Display Adaptors and 'Class' = Display
and there was an 'UpperFilters' = pivot
(pivot being the crummy utility that screwed me up, which I had uninstalled in my troubleshooting efforts- or tried to, I am guessing the system was locked into trying to load the missing utility)
renamed it to 'UpperFilters.bak' and rebooted. Full screen goodness resulted !!!

Re: AMD 7770 Drivers? Help
hmm, the only thing is there are about 4 to 5 upper filters in the folders. so do i go into each file and change all the upper fillers to UpperFilters.bak and all the lowest filters to 'LowerFilters.bak ??

Re: AMD 7770 Drivers? Help
You are looking for the two specific keys that says '(Default)' = Display Adaptors and 'Class' = Display
