Try removing the card, boot, and uninstall the AMD graphic driver (Catalyst). Run CCleaner to rid the system of registry errors and other crap. Then run Driver Sweeper from Safe Mode and have it remove any ATI, AMD, Nvidia graphic driver remnants it finds. Re-install the card and re-boot. Install the graphic driver for the card anew.
