After installing the amd hd7770 videocard and installed the driver packages (which probably went wrong) I started to encounter 2 issues...

The first issue that I have is getting into the account I used to install the drivers on. After entering a correct password the screen becomes black and returns to the login screen. I was not able to fix this using Google.

The second issue is that my mouse becomes super laggy when the card is plugged in.

Please take note that the system used an onboard graphics chip before the card install.

Still not clear... what message is appearing that don't allow you to access that account? – Braiam Sep 30 '13 at 00:03

We need more details on what's going on. What error messages are you getting? What's happening visually? Those questions and others are going to need to be answered to help diagnose the problem. – Thomas Ward Sep 30 '13 at 00:12
Sorry, my bad. When I fill in the password which I know is correct, then hit enter the screen becomes black for a second and brings me back to the login screen. Only on one account. – Kindafunny Sep 30 '13 at 04:14

@Kindafunnyb You have to insert your username and your password. – Radu Rădeanu Oct 01 '13 at 12:00
@RaduRădeanu I tried that, but it gives me an invalid login message, anything that I am doing wrong? – Kindafunny Oct 01 '13 at 12:10
@Kindafunny Yes, you didn't enter the correct username and password :) – Radu Rădeanu Oct 01 '13 at 12:28
@RaduRădeanu Then the username must be wrong, even tho I tried all of our usernames with password. neither of them gave me a correct login message – Kindafunny Oct 01 '13 at 12:43
