Windows 7 - No icon at login screen

[sunflowerseeds]

So I was playing civilization 5 while using CCC amd overdrive as my gpu was heating up. I changed some of the performance and fan speed but CCC froze. I tried saving my game in civ 5 but that also froze so I cold booted my pc. Afterward I couldn't start up my pc without getting stuck at the login screen with no user icon. Additionally, there's black borders around the login screen. I've tried all safe mode options but I can't do anything without accessing the desktop. I've tried starting windows normally and last known good configuration and the same thing happens (login screen with no user + black bordered). I thought this was an driver issue at first cause it was hanging up after windows loading files but then it got to the login screen.

Please help if possible, thanks.

You the man, henydiah. In ATI Technologies I deleted some .dll files with the word "overdrive" in them and presto, it worked.
