Hello everyone.
I'm trying to get this Radeon R9 290 I have to work on Windows (fresh install of 10 pro 64-bit). Basically, I tried installing drivers, now I get a black screen after doing just about anything, and it lingers for a very long time (20+ minutes, just shut off my PC after that) Funny thing is, the drivers were downloading in chrome, yet my screen went to a proper resolution and device manager read "Radeon R9 200 series" before it went dark. Restarting grants you about 5 seconds of freedom before it goes black again.
I did some searching and I found out you can block windows from automatically setting up devices. So I did that, and tried downloading drivers only to have the same issue ; midway through the download they just install themselves then the screen goes dark soon after. Third time setting up Windows 10 and I notice, before my internet connection is even on "Searching for Display Driver". Presumably, that keeps going after I turn on my internet connection. How can I tell Windows to stop and let me find the right one myself, because whatever it is installing doesn't seem to be working properly?
Thanks in advance.
