What are you using to display ? Is it a tv or monitor?


When you use ddu on these cards you have the option not to restart after removal .Select this then put the driver on and set it up .
If you select restart after ddu then this can happen . Its actually sending a signal but its usually out of range unless your using a monitor.
Ive fixed the issue before by adding another display to the back of card ,also by using an old monitor . BTW my tv cant even show me the bios with an r9 290x I have to plug old monitor in to get there.

im using monitor, somehow i installed the gpu driver but now got back to same problem - black screen after windows 10 logo, tried everything, removing cmos battery, reinstalling gpu driver, restoring windows, going back to previous version of windows, none helped :/ thru safe mode i cant install drivers because it says failed to load detection driver when cleaned with ddu without restarting

You can try a forced shutdown (basically shuting down pc with power button ) .
Then reboot after 5 secs or so
Also let me know if you have to hold power button for 4 seconds to do it or its set to instant off.

If that's not worked
Try turning off Fast Startup...
This feature only works when you do a SHUTDOWN and then Boot.
It doesn't effect a RESTART.
To turn it off or on...
Go to Control panel..system and security .Power Options, on the left you see " Choose What the Power Buttons Do "

Lower down on the window, uncheck Fast Startup.
Then cold boot .

Microsofts own driver is no good its a basic driver to give basic functions and will not work on games etc.

Boot in safe mode and install driver for gpu wait 5 mins (cup of tea etc ) . then restart it.

Infamous radeon black screen probably my only gripe with AMD cards. Happened to me a few times a few years ago with certain drivers, hasnt since, guess its hit or miss. Try a different driver

Use this driver its one of there better ones https://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/radeon-crimson-16.4.2-win10-64bit.exe.
You can change it later using ddu without the restart.

This driver doesn't have the relive thing just incase

I still use one of those cards in a system. Not bad speed wise . The trick is to not let ddu restart after removal . Then put new drivers on and set it up .

ok heres the plan . Use ddu now to remove any leftovers but choose not to restart . Then install the driver from the link 16.4.2 (actually a good driver). If it does it again I am catching the next train outa here.
