I have recently bought a new graphics card ( and a new case to fit the card in) i removed the old drivers put the new card in, tried to install new drivers and every time i try to do that using AMD catalyst, i get a blue screen and it crashes. i get a message saying it is transferring data to the physical memory the blue screen doesnt stay on long enough for me to get a code.

it doesnt crash when just browsing the web and it doesnt crash in safe mode (but i cant install the drivers in safe mode)
I have done a memory test and the no errors were found.

i don't believe it is the PSU being overloaded as it blue screens when using my old cards and running the program and blue screens using the onboard graphics.

The only solution i can think of is doing a clean install of windows 7.


OS: Windows 7 64bit
PSU: Corsair CX600
Motherboard: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
CPU: AMD FX6300
Graphics card: (Old ASUS HD 6670) (New Radeon R9 290)
RAM: 2 x 4gb sport Crucial GDDR3
 
Solution
Have you installed the latest BIOS on your MB and/or Flashed your BIOS?

Also, the R9 290 requires a 750W PSU and you have a 600W PSU. While the R9 290 does not use that much power, the manufacturer does note that as a requirement.

I have the latest bios and drivers on my motherboard

do you believe it is my PSU stopping me? i didnt know i needed a 750 PSU i didn't see the manufactures recommendations i got the card as a refurb.
This is my latest issue when installing AMD catalyst, maybe it would help if i was able to get the exact driver i needed and not have to get catalyst

it specifically failed to get the Audio Drivers but it didnt blue screen, Also the driver updater automaticaly detected the onboard graphics (AMD 760G) and not the R9 290
