Title basically covers it.Crash happened after installing CCC. By freezing I mean it gets stuck on the image last displayed before the crash and remains almost completely unresponsive. Hitting Ctrl Alt Del allows me to start task manager but still cant do anything outside its window. Disabling the drivers in safe mode fixes it but is there a way to make it work without having disabled drivers?

Specs: M5A99FX PRO R2 mobo, FX8350, 2x 250 GB Samsung 840 pro in raid0, 16Gb Adata XPG

Try searching for the last stable release of your drivers and install that version. Uninstall your current one first and then go ahead and install the previous most stable release you can find. Otherwise you could try doing a windows system restore, by rolling back exactly some time before the drivers started crashing. It might a windows update as well.

Yup after reading some other threads i found that 13.2 was the last stable version. However, even 13.2 didn't start working until I unplugged my second GPU from the PCI slot.
