Hello all, I just recently purchased a sapphire radeon r9 290 and I cannot use the latest driver. I've read about many others having the same issue so I've rolled back to the previous driver. I can make it to the windows load screen and then it just goes blank. I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I even tried the beta version, same problem. so the previous driver seems to be working until they can make a fix for this. I do use a Vizio HDTV as my monitor, I understand this isn't good. It comes up as a generic monitor on my desktop with a 2006 driver. So basically I'm looking for suggestions on a new monitor and will this resolve my problem or is it just an issue with the driver.

Welcome (If you're new)
It's a driver problem. I'm not too sure about this, but I think AMD has not gotten to that card yet.
Does your screen stay on or does it go into sleep?
Did you try this one?

If you did, try a different card.

Thank you, I appreciate it.
I assumed it was a driver issue, I can't access that one from your link is it 14.4? I'm using 13.2 right now and it seems to be fine. My screen stays on it's just completely black.
