New AMD drivers bricking cards

Aferim007

So, i upgraded from a gtx 750 to an rx 460. When i got it i put it in my computer, made sure the DVI connector was all the way in both the card and the monitor, and booted up.

When i  got in Windows the first thing i did was put the driver. That was the moment i first saw a GPU getting completely bricked, monitor went black (btw made sure i put the appropriate driver for the card). Reset it then i installed a fresh version of Windows 10 64-bit (version 1809) and it worked well. then i installed an older driver and the same thing happened: black screen, unresponsive,etc.

One reset later, to my surprise the computer didn't boot to the windows boot manager, it went to the BIOS?!!!

Do you people have any idea how to fix this?

If the GPU still works, then it's not bricked. Drivers not working is not the same thing as being bricked.

Have you uninstalled your previous Nvidia driver with DDU (as recommended, in safe mode)?

AMD drivers are extremely picky when it comes to some cards (especially with ones like mine with modified bioses) I only install WHQL drivers from AMD just to avoid getting in to this situation (not adrenalin or beta, WHQL)
