Huge AMD Crimson Bug

Ok. So I recently removed my 390x from my system to try my 290 because I plan to run the pair in crossfire. After installing the latest Crimson drivers. My monitor won't display the windows login anymore after I restart the PC for the first time(completely blacks out). It was working fine and able to restart without the drivers. This is honestly very ridiculous that this can even happen. I remember it happened when crimson first came out. Now it's still not fixed. It might have something to do with my card being in the 2nd to the bottom PCIE slot. Is anybody else having this issue? This doesn't bother me all to much because I can just do a system restore and I have multiple cards. I'm just concerned this might be happening to other people.

Current PC: Origin Millennium- i7 5820K @4.0GHz | GTX 980Ti SLI | X99 Deluxe

Didn't the same thing happen when I sent you the cooler? It was the bottom PCI-E slot that was causing it wasn't it?

I think that time it actually died. It suddenly blanked out when I was running heaven at stock. In hindsight, if I had loosened the cooler a bit that might have solved it. But at least I have a 390x now lol.

Deep down I want to somehow break my 290 and get a 390X.

 

But I can't bring myself to do it, not to mention that it probably wouldn't be eligible for RMA xD

Yeah. the 390x is pretty powerful. Even with a high overclock, the 290 is still a good 10% behind my 390x.
