I bought a Radeon R9 270x GPU for my first computer build, but upon trying to install the drivers that came with the GPU, I am met with the BSOD. I then went online to find other drivers matching my software specs (Windows 8.1 64 bit and said graphics card), and I was greeted with Catalyst 14.4. I tried installing this program, but it too crashed my computer. Any ideas on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

interesting, try an older driver, re-seat the card and all connectors, make sure the power connector is working.

I feel extremely stupid, but I do not have my card in the case. When it was connected, I got VGA output because I have integrated video on my mobo. I can turn off the integrated video in BIOS but when I do that it doesn't work with the GPU because the drivers aren't installed. Kind of a Catch-22, I feel like I am missing something.

put the card in and boot, it will (should) still boot the card, and from there instal the drivers.

The computer boots just fine, except for the fact I get no video output whatsoever. Without the card it works fine. I'm not sure what that could mean.

have the card pluged in, but connect your monitor to the igpu video output on the i/O panel, then download and install the driver.

the back of your computer, it plugs into the motherboard.
