yesterday i updated my drivers for my Amd Radeon r9 270x. after the installation everything seemed fine. i loaded up a game and suddenly i experienced massive screen tearing and the pc crashed.

after booting up my pc again on my monitor it says "out of reach" i thought it was a resolution issue at first so i hooked up old screen trying to fix this problem but nothing worked.

afterwards i uninstalled all Amd related drivers. i thought it must be an corrupted driver or something. now when trying to install the Amd drivers again in the middle of the installation process i get a black screen and the whole pc freezes. i have tried several times but it pretty much crashes. sometimes i even get black screen right after the windows startup logo.

has anyone ever experienced such a problem and/or have a solution for me? thanks in advance.

Without using DDU the drivers can leave bits behind that causes your problem amongst others.
Hope this helps.

Out of reach means your card is trying to show a picture with a signal that is beyond what your monitor can show.
Try this
Go into safe mode (usually f8 on startup) Adjust monitors resolution and refresh rate to suit monitor save settings and then you can restart.

Phyrae:
I had the same problem you have.
I found a solution: I dismantled the board and made a "home" reflow with a heat gun
Mounted the thing again and... SOLVED
2 days working without problems, updated with the last drivers
