So, I have a MSI RX 480 Gaming X 4GB and I was able to download the drivers for it and other parts. I got some of the drivers to install for the GPU, but when I clicked on AMD settings or something to just look around at the settings, nothing popped up. I also downloaded the MSI gaming app to test it out and when I clicked on that, it said I need to have a MSI product. I've gone through many restarts after downloading drivers for the AMD software.  Yes I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it. So, im confused on what's going wrong, and I've took the gpu out of the pc but then the pc wouldn't turn on. Before all this chaos happened last night, I was able to setup one monitor for 144hz and my pc would actually detect the other monitor I have which runs 60hz. All of that worked until I tried installing a little bit more (AMD drivers, MSI Gaming app/center).

Is the GPU even on? Check to see if the fans are running

The fans are definitely running and the LED lights are on also. Also, when I got into device manager and into display adapters, it says Microsoft basic display or something.

Reinstall the drivers then. download them directly dont use the auto tool

lol, I was really tired last night. I got everything working now. 144hz, both displays, AMD settings to mess around with. Thanks for your help. All I had to do was install a single driver and that's it. xD
