I have a Asus AMD R7 260X and when it comes to drivers its a complete mess. I don't know about the rest of the AMD GPU's but the drivers on mine are terrible. I haven't been able to install any of the new drivers (current one is 14.12 Omega) since 13.12. That's over a year old (maybe even more). When the installation completes and I reboot, I get a black screen and I hear the sound that windows produces when you insert and remove a device, over and over and over again. It's like the driver is crashing-retrying again and again but all I see is a black screen after the Windows loading screen (the time when Windows is probably loading the drivers). Safe mode obviously works fine as it doesnt load the VGA drivers. I have searched again and again on the Internet for this problem, many people seemed to have the same problem as I have and ended up returning their card. Also their customer support is bullshit. The guy I contacted was actually trying top be helpful but he didn't know too much. I have even tried a new VBIOS that supposedly fixes my issue but no luck. The problem is actually with the display driver (I think) but I haven't found a solution so far. If anyone can help me, please post here. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Update : I forgot to mention that this black screen problem only appears with a DVI-I cable. VGA works fine but I cant stand its horrible video output.

Update the BIOS of the motherboard. If you have another HDD that you can format (erase everything recorded), install the operating system in it, run the updates for the system and then install the lastest driver for your video graphics card using the software from AMD Catalyst*.

* Do NOT install anything else.
