You aren't trying to install it in safe mode are you? This error will occur if you attempt to install the AMD drivers in safe mode

try to download the drivers from AMD website, not Catalyst control center

Well while i was installing the catalyst installer (which is what AMD says you use for the drivers) my computer screen has frozen while downloading... *facepalm* the stress.

and ctrl alt delete didnt do a thing... ugh.

 

edit: btw im using Windows 8.1 on that machine if it makes any difference..

yeah, mine have been giving me shit all day.
That is three bluescreens and an outright failure to work in SLI for BF3/4.

i just got my driver to update. what Gpu are you using?

Okay if anyone is having problems with their drivers from AMD, here is what i did. close all applications, go into your downloads and find all versions of the amd installer or down-loader and delete them. then i went into C: and went into the AMD folder and then went into Support, once inside you need to delete the Win7,8,8.1 file or what ever it looks like. then i just went back to AMD website and did my driver download again. with that it worked fine. Don't know if it will work for everyone but it worked for my R9 290's.

i have two r7 260xs, i am just going to fresh install windows 8.1, and be done with it.

But if it happens again, i will try this thanks!
