Hey guys, i'm sorry to say that my first post on this site has to be a plea for help.

Here's my issue.

I've recently assembled my own PC, here are the specs:
Mobo: MSI 970
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (1866MHZ)
ATI Radeon R9 390 8GB
240GB SSD Crucial BX200
Corsair CX750M (750 watt)

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

So what's the issue? When I installed everything on my PC, everything went fine untill i got to the GPU driver. Within a second, my screen turned black and i was forced to restart my PC.

I managed to boot in safe mode and uninstall through 3-D Guru's DDU.
Booted up, tried to install, same issue.

This time however, when i went to check my devices through the device manager, i found something very peculiar: The driver was set to 200-series, while i should have a 300-series driver.

Going to the webstie of AMD and checking their auto-detect, it too has detected that my GPU should us a 200-series driver.

Manually downloading AMD's 300-series have been unsuccesful, as it just skips installing a GPU driver at all (Catalyst)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
