Hello! Thanks for even taking a look at this hopefully the discussion and solutions offered will be of help to not only myself but others who are having similar issue.
I am having issues having my video card work with any driver at all except the "Microsoft Basic Display adapter". I'm don't think that the video card is fried since it does give video output. I have tried doing a clean install of windows after trying to re install drivers.
I'm really at wits end on this as this has taken at least 10-16 hrs trying to troubleshoot this In any way.. I wish I could go back to the building phase as that part was full of wonder and fun!
I know and understand that everyone reading this is taking time out of their day, I would greatly appreciate any resources to check out or possible alternatives that you are aware of.

- These are things I have done and general background information
■ The video card boots up, fans spin and is recognized by my motherboard as existing in the PCIE slot.
■ PSU cables are attached to all respective slots.■ When trying to uninstall and install a driver I have been using Display driver uninstaller
■ I have tried to install drivers through both the catalyst installer and the device manager "update installer." from AMD and MSI's website as well as the driver that came with the CD, but the computer will crash with either that "stuttering sound" or just go black. I have tried using both drivers for windows 8, when that didn't work i upgraded to windows 8.1 to take advantage of using those drivers.
■ Not sure if it was a step in the right direction but under safemode i was able to install a driver so that it at least shows up under the device manager as a device, but if i exit safe mode or enable the driver under normal conditions the screen will go to black.
