So for the past few weeks I've been trying to upgrade my computer. I installed a new CPU, Graphics card, motherboard, and RAM. I forget my exact build specs but I can update this later when I have the time.
Radeon R7 260x - Graphics card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121801
M5A99FX PRO 2.0 - Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851
AMD Zambezi Quad Core FX-4100 - CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103996

After I update the graphics card driver, every single time even when I use the oldest version, when I restart my computer I get the black screen of death (The blank screen that stays after the boot logo for windows). The computer boots fine in safe mode and I have tried lots of other driver things such as drive sweeper, driver fusion, ect. I decided that I would try to take out all my RAM but one and see if it worked. It booted up fine. I kept putting sticks back into the motherboard and testing them 2, 3, and 4 all booted fine. I thought I fixed the problem so I updated the driver again. Black screen. I decided to do the RAM test again 1, 2, 3 then 4 and it booted fine after each stick was inserted. I have 2 real questions I guess here. Will I have to just put one stick of RAM in and do this every time I update my drivers? Also, what exactly does putting in 1 stick actually do in this situation? I know it tests if the RAM is bad but I don't get why it then works after I install all 4 sticks.
