Installing this: http://www.ncix.com/detail/club-3d-radeon-r7-265-83-94996-1215.htm
Used the given installer disc and tried downloading the latest driver installer as well.

I'm using the windows 7 Home Built-in admin account tried right clicking and running the installer as admin....
Tried using a registry cleaner and disabling anti-virus.
Tried restarting a few times...
Tried if I can do a manual install of the driver through device manager on the built-in account... (In Device Manager the card shows as VGA compatible rather then a video adapter I believe...)

Installs are oddly long (30 mins +) when compared to games I have gigiabites in size... and sometimes the installer freezes.


Any suggestions on what to try next?

That sounds very round about way of installing drivers that may not fix a larger problem...
I'm going to try and re-format and install windows again on my whole harddrive instead I think...
