I'm not sure where to start. I've had many different errors this morning that eventually led to not being able to load any operating system.

It started off as a black screen while playing a game. After restarting, I got a notification saying "Radeon WattMan settings have been restored.". I tried again and this time, I got a black screen immediately after starting a games. Checked temps next time and they were fine, so I uninstalled my graphics drivers. I restart and get ready to reinstall my driver's however I seem to be in safe mode (no networking, services stopped). I go into msconfig and restart in "normal mode", and am given an error saying the operating system could not be loaded.

I've tried setting my UEFI to default. I also tried using Ubuntu and Win 7, since I have both those installed on my PC too. Ubuntu has been black screening and Win7 seems to only be accessible from the windows bootmgr. I'm creating a windows recovery USB atm.

Sorry for any errors or lack of information. I'm typing this on my phone.

Any suggestions as to what caused this and how it can be fixed would be much appreciated.
 
I ended up fixing it using bootrec in Windows recovery. Seems to be back to the way it was earlier. I will see if the issue persists when playing a game.



I ran some tests on Magician. Everything seemed to be ok besides outdated firmware which I have updated.



If I continue to get the black screen which I think led to the error, I'll try a 560 Ti and see what changes. I can't do so until Friday.

Thank you so far, I will update later when I know whether the problem is still present or not.

UPDATE: Seems to be working good!
