R9 290x not detected as a display adapter

[Martin2k]

The gpu is detected in Device manager under Other devices tab and it's named video controller (VGA compatible). When opening up details for it, it shows that it doesnt have any drivers installed, but when I try to install any drivers on it then it crashes to black screen and I have to force restart the pc. any clue what should I do?

Hi

It would help to know what motherboard, psu , operating system etc

Is this a new build or a new gpu?
Has this system ever worked with any windows?
Is pci-e 12 V power connected correctly to gpu?

Regards
Mike Barnes

It's a miner, it worked fine, but after changing thermals it stopped working and at one point pc couldn't detect the gpu at all now it's detected but as the video controller (VGA compatible). After a little bit of tinkering I got it to display adapter list with basic windows driver, but it has error 31 and driver isnt properly installed. It's a good gpu I want to use it till it completely dies or going to use it for gaming later if it becomes complitely useless for mining.
