I just replaced my old Nvidia GTX 550 TI with a Sapphire 290x. As soon as I boot and enter my login screen on Windows 7, a BSOD with a IRQL Euqal or Less error appears. I had uninstalled my Nvidia driver before plugging in the new card, using Driver Sweeper. I tried System recovering that uninstall, but when I try to use the default Control Panel Add or Remove programs, the uninstaller never appears. Now I'm stuck not knowing what to do, I can't even download anything on Safe Mode, since it won't let me boot with Networking Mode. I don't even really know what's causing the BSOD, the card is plugged in fine.

What module is causing the fault?
Seems strange that it would happen with the GPU drivers installed

Remove both the VGA adapters.
The BSoD should have the fault module (usually a .sys or .dll file)
If no, you can get that information with bluescreen view

@Kotoriii....you got it there yourself.
you are having this problem because you restored after uninstalling the drivers, that is creating a conflict.

I am still downloading the OS. Before attempting this, the BSOD is not because of a hardware problem, right?
I7 3770
P8H77 M Mobo
8 GB Ram
2 TB Seagate HDD
TP Link Wireless Adapter
Sapphire R9 290x GPU
Corsair 750X PSU
All the components ran fan, until I replaced the GPU with the new 290x. Although I disassembled my PC and mounted it on a new tower, all components are plugged and everything runs fine, I already double checked. So, it isn't a hardware thing, right? My Mobo must run this card, as far as I know
