Last night is when it happened....ah I remember it like it was yesterday. All was well with my custom gaming rig until suddenly I realized CCC had seemingly disappeared from my computer. With the damned control center no where to be found, I had no way to adjust my fan speed on my GPU; It was at this moment I had the bright idea to clean the drivers and start a new. What a fool I was....I cleaned my drivers and restarted my computer, thinking all would be swell and I would simply re-download the new drivers as I have before.
After my custom boot logo was done doing its thing, I was greeted with a nice black screen (still very much stuck here.) After my computer was done insulting my intelligence (took me a good 5 minutes to realize it wasn't going to boot) I decided to teach it a lesson by booting in safe mode.
In safe mode I figured I would try installing the drivers again. However, before Catalyst could finish downloading I got a message saying "failed to load detection drivers" and if I ignore this and let it finish I get a message saying something along the lines of "errors occurred during instillation." After seeing this I figured the drivers may have not been wiped completely. To solve this I downloaded Display Driver Uninstaller, as it seemed to be well recommended. ran the program and restarted the computer. Went to install GPU drivers afterwards and alas...I get the same error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am sick of being stuck in safe mode, thanks guys
NOTES:
GPU is a Sapphire r9 280x dual-x 3GB (stock clocks)
Currently running windows 7 64-bit.
Re-checked to make sure, and yes, the drivers are indeed 64-bit.
Drivers are not broken (have been using them for nearly a year now)
The two driver cleaners used were Driver cleaner Pro, and DDU (as mentioned above)
