So I have a Sapphire R9 390X and last night I updated the Radeon drivers. After the update I was prompted to restart my computer, after which, nothing was being displayed on my monitors. No bios, no windows logo, nothing. All of the power was on in my computer, lights were on and fans were buzzing, including the fans on my GPU. My monitors are picking up no output from my GPU so I don't know how to tackle the issue (I'm posting this problem from work). Do I have to go out and spend money on a spare GPU just to diagnose the problem? Thanks yall!

System:
AMD FX 8350 (no overclock)
MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
16Gb Hyper X Fury 1866Mhz RAM
Sapphire R9 390X Nitro
Corsair RM850 PSU
AMD Radeon 480Gb SSD
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Win 7 Ultimate
 


Hey thanks for the heads up, i'll try that tonight.

So to boot into safemode, I just spam F8 when I turn on my PC? If nothing shows up and the monitor remains off, does that mean I have a issue with my R9 and not the drivers?
 


Yes pretty much, i would check this out just incase that does not work
