Hi guys, im having problems with installing AMD drivers for a Asus R9 285 Strix. After driver install, I can logon to windows then the screen turns black. The monitor still has a signal and the backlight is on, but there is nothing displayed on the screen. I have installed crimson 15.12 and 15.11 both times uninstalling the previous driver with ddu. I also remembered catalyst omega 14.12 working fine, but when I install it now, there is the same problem. I am pretty sure it is a driver problem, as the display works fine after uninstalling driver and using the generic windows driver. Currently running Win 7 Home Prem 64-Bit. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried safe mode? From there you can try to install the drivers again.

I have to go into safe mode to uninstall drivers with ddu.

I just found out that it is actually a bluescreen happening while the monitor appears to be black. The bccode is 117.

Just tried with the 14.30 driver that came on the strix installation disk. That bluescreened as well. Im starting to think that this is not just a problem with the gpu drivers, but other conflicting software.

Xtreme G 15.7 drivers do not work either.
