Multiple BSODs After Installing AMD Graphics Drivers - What are causing these and How can I stop this?

I recently swapped systems by taking my ssd and hdd and putting it in a new system and did a full reinstall of Windows 10 on it, but keeping all my personal data. I then installed the updates and attempted to install the AMD R7 Graphics drivers for my AMD A10-7850k from the official AMD website here. When I tried installing, I had received multiple blue screens. I tried using a work around and used a solution from this forum thread and successfully installed the driver. Then started to continuously receive blue screens. Errors found by WhoCrashed, being:

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (2 errors recently)
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
BAD_POOL_HEADER
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (2 errors recently)

However, when I restart with safe mode and uninstall the AMD drivers, no blue screen at all. Windows runs flawlessly. It's obviously (i think) due to the AMD drivers, but I need these drivers to run some apps. Any reason why this keeps happening?

My system:
*AMD A10-7850k
*Gigabyte F2A88XN-WiFi - Running latest BIOS
*EVGA DDR3-1600 Superclocked (2x4gb)
*EVGA 430W Power Supply
*Cooler Master Elite 130
*Cooler Master Vortex Plus
*PNY XLR8 120GB
*WD Blue 1TB

Thank you in advance if you reply!
 
The only thing I can suggest to you is to use a older driver suite version.

If you are using the Ati crimson drivers, you can still download the versions of the video driver revisions for both the Apu of the amd cpu you have and any Pci-e card that you also may run along with the amd Apu/cpu.

Make sure you are downloading the Apu drivers and not the version of the drivers meant for Pci-e graphics card solutions fitted to the pci-e card slot of the motherboard.

Hello! Thanks for replying.
I tried installing the Radeon Crimson Driver 15.12 for Windows 10, but I am still getting blue screens from the driver. Unfortunately trying an older version for my APU did not work. Any other suggestions?
