AMD Driver Issues Causing Black Screens at Boot

Tech Support

There's an On-going issue on the AMD Forums, windows 7 - 10 Users impacted, when the drivers are uninstalled, the PC will work and boot, but when they are installed, windows is a black screen.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Setup is an ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel SSD HD 7970

I've Uninstalled the drivers, used the cleaning tool, Done fresh installs of the drivers, etc.

Try ddu

Running it now and I'll try a fresh install after -

If that doesn't work I'll try to see if I can find old drivers.

After that, I'll buy an Nvidia Card. Lol

I had this issue first time. First time I used ddu and that gave me black screen. Then I reverted to previous driver and re-downloaded the update and upgraded(no ddu) and then I was fine. Should also mention I turned my gpu OC in MSI back to stock clocks before doing the upgrade that also might have messed up the install.

Well, I just ran DDU, then Reinstalled just the driver and not the rest of the Crimsom Applications (Through Device Manager). And it's still black Screen when loading windows.

So now, I hunt for an Older driver.
