Hello to everyone that is reading this thread!

So i just build my new rig:
CPU:i7 6700k
GPU:SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO+ OC 8Gb
RAM:RIPJAWS 3000Mhz
MBO: Gigabyte H110M-S2H-CF
and it wasn't a long time ago i tried to update the AMD RX 480 Drivers and everything was good,the drivers were installing,and then i just saw nothing on the screen,just random pixels!

I didn't know what to do and i restarted the PC,and everything was back to normal.
Then i tried updating the drivers again a they installed normally,the PC ran normally like for 2 days,until now.

I was playing a game,and then i exited it,and everything was normal,i left my PC and went do so something else.

Then when i came,i just saw pixels on the screen,i tried LCTRL+ALT+DEL; Alt+tab, but nothing happened.

I restarted the PC and now everything is running normally.

If anyone has had the same issue,please participate and help me solve this issue! Thanks!

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes...

After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Doesn't hurt to try, they probably aren't though.
