So my pc just yesterday decided to not show me any login screen after "starting windows" screen and i tried rebooting same thing. So i booted to safe mode, atleast that worked, then i started Windows Repair and tried windows boot repair no result. so i used DDU to completely wipe the driver from the gpu and that way it could boot into normal windows. Then I installed the latest version from amds site, rebooted and... same problem occured... so i tried a system restore and... same old black screen.. now i have tried wipeing and reinstalling different version of the drivers and still the same problem... Now im stuck and dont now what to do...

provide ver of windows and amd drivers if you can please.
how do you connect to the monitor? hdmi/dvi/vga/dp?
could you describe the black screen in detail?
is the monitor on but all black with backlighting still on, or the monitor is on standby(no backlight).
is the computer still responsive? i.e. try hitting ctrl+alt+del, pressing power shut it down, ect
if you press Win+P does it do anything?

it's quite wierd indeed. i wont say a faulty vga just yet since you can display well at lower resolution in safe mode.
a faulty cable or socket maybe.
try going on safe mode again and reduce your resolution to 1360x768 maybe and restart to see if it's still persist.

Sorry for being a bit late... :/

But i did and it got to the login screen but not further so progress... Im guessing my psu went faulty or something.. Maybe it just cant deliver enough power when the drivers are enabled.. either way i was planning on upgrading both my psu and gpu... Btw i even tried booting linux from another HDD and it was just black screen after the Ubuntu selection so same problem there as with linux..
