Microsoft solves the problem of black screen crashes on Windows 7

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft officially released Windows 7 RTM, and won unanimous praise from users. However, installing Windows 7 on some computers is not a simple task, especially for compatibility and support problems.
 
According to Microsoft, Windows 7 does not run well on AMD/ATI Radeon graphics processing unit GPUs configured to use embedded DisplayPort (eDP) technology. All in all, you cannot successfully deploy Windows 7 on the computer configured above.
 
Microsoft pointed out that when you install Windows 7 on the computer configured above, a black screen will appear during the installation process, but the installation process is still in progress. In this case, you may not be able to complete the installation. If you have multiple display screens, only the primary screen will produce a black screen.
 
Microsoft lists AMD/ATI Radeon GPUs affected by the above issues, including:

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (PCI \ VEN_1002 & DEV_9480 );;

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (PCI \ VEN_1002 & DEV_9488 );

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870 (PCI \ VEN_1002 & DEV_945A );

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 (PCI \ VEN_1002 & DEV_944A );

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 (PCI \ VEN_1002 & DEV_9552 ).
 
At the same time, Microsoft also stressed that Apple's iMac 27 is also among the affected systems.
 
Microsoft declared that AMD only implemented eDP support after the completion of Windows 7 DVD. Therefore, the AMD Radeon graphics driver in the retail version of Windows 7 DVD does not support eDP. However, to fix this eDP problem, AMD has released an update driver. to successfully complete the installation process, you must install the update during the startup process.
 
In addition, if you have a secondary monitor, you can use a simple solution provided by Microsoft.

Microsoft points out that users can connect their monitors to their computers when they have a secondary monitor. In this way, you can see the installation process from start to end, and solve the eDP problem through Windows Update after Windows 7 is installed.
 
Finally, Microsoft released a solution for advanced users, including the AutoUnattend. xml Q & A file, the latest graphic driver, and USB flash drive.
 
Microsoft pointed out that the compression format of the graphics driver is copied to the USB flash drive, follow the steps below: download the latest driver for your graphics adapter from the AMD website --run the Downloaded Program .exe) extract the driver -- the program will prompt you to select the installation location, for example, c: \ ati \ support \. After extraction, locate the installation folder in the above steps and copy the installation folder to the USB flash drive.
 
You also need to create AutoUnattend. xml response file: Open the notepad file, copy and paste the following blue text, save AutoUnattend in the UTF-8 encoding format. xml, and then copy it to the root directory of USB.
