!! sorry for my english !!
I know there are many posts like this but not one solves my issue...
After i install amd drivers and restart the computer my fresh new rig gets to the 4 color logo and than freezes the image and wont move any further. I tried both 14.12 and 15.6 beta drivers, and no luck, i have to restore windows every time... the card is seated corectly in the only pcie 16x slot and powered corectly... i preveosly had i3 540 and it did the same thing but only sometimes..

RIG:
i3 4160
msi H81m-p33
asus r7 260x dc2oc 2gd5 (used for one year in an old rig)
2x 4gb 1333 Mhz ram (from 4 year old rig)
segate baracuda 500gb (from 4 year old rig)
thermaltake 630w semi modular psu

No it cant be since the old i3 was less power efficient at 73w and the new one uses only 53w everything else is the same ( i bought the psu 4 months ago, the gpu 10 months)

Well it's likely that it is some kind of hardware problem concidering it's a fresh installation. Use as few components as possible and add them untill it fails is the process to do this. It is likely to be videocard related in this case. You can try how your system functions with the onboard video, without your videocard placed. Preferably you would want to test with another videocard that uses the same drivers. If that works fine your current videocard is the problem.

Thank you ill do that now... Can it be because the GPU was overclocked (it wasnt really a very stable overclock) before the the motherboard/cpu swap and now when the drivers are installed it remembers the unstable overclock and tries to run it anyway? Can reinstalling the gpu bios fix it? thanks in advance

So i tried to install drivers once again and offcourse windows didnt boot so i pulled the 260X out and connected my monitor to the intel iGPU and windows boots just fine...
So its deffinetly the combination of the 260X and amd drivers and maybe its because my old unstable overclock is still in the bios of the 260x...
Please help guys im geting desperate!!!

It is still possible that it is the PSU. Most descent PSU's are modular and the part supplying juice to the graphics card could be causing trouble. You won't know untill you test with another graphics card.
