Why don't any drivers work on my XFX R9 290?

I just got an XFX (ref) R9 290 and when I plugged it in it obviously didn't work so I used a driver that's on my other XFX 290 but that didn't work either so I installed the latest (non-beta) driver and it STILL doesn't work.

The card produces HDMI output for non-demanding things like web-browsing but once I start up a game it crashes and says it is the Driver's fault.

Any help please?
 
Solution
Not sure what all the problems are I had trouble with multi-monitor rigs, also problems w/ AHCI and some AMD based rigs (though it also affected some Intel rigs)

14.4 works for me... it's just not working for my new card :p (I have it running right now on my other 290 and it works fine) Is it possible that drivers don't work for same type of cards?
