So earlier I got a BSOD then I checked online and it said that I should update my graphics driver and so I did. The problem is that I tried installing AMD Catalyst Software Suit 14.4 (I had 13.1 or something). I installed it everything was good then it asked me to reboot the system and so I did and then whenever it went after the "Windows is loading" screen it goes black. I could still hear the sound it makes when it opens but I cannot see anything. I went to Safe Mode and uninstalled the driver with Display Driver Unistaller. I read somewhere that I should download AMD CCC 13.12 and I did. It works but when I go to AMD CCC's Software tab and to My Computer>Manage>Device Manager>Display Adapters it says AMD Radeon R9 200 Series and crashed on me a few times. Also, I tried to up the fan speed and it doesn't change anything.

Is everything alright or should I do something?

Here are my specs:

CPU: i5-4690K @ 3.50 GHz
Heatsink: Corsair H100i
GPU: Gigabyte GV-R929OC-4GD
RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI
PSU: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular
SSD: Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
HDD: 1TB WD Green
Case: NZXT M59
