    Black screen with any graphic card driver (AMD Radeon R9 270x)


    Hey Guys :)
    Somehow, I got a blackscreen 2 days ago... After that, I deleted the graphic card driver in "safe mode", because I wasn't able to start my computer (I always got a black screen, after the Windows Loading Screen). Since that happened, I can't install or update any graphic card driver... I always get a blackscreen and nothing more happens.
    My computer shows only "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" as my graphic card and if I try to update this driver, I got the same problem.
    I'm totally helpless, can you guys help me, please? Thank You very much!

    PS.: I have a AMD Radeon R9 270x graphic card

    I have an R7 240 and when I had trouble with AMD drivers, either installing or upgrading, I found using Display Driver Uninstaller cleaned everything out for me: Official Display Driver Uninstaller DDU Download

    Good Luck

    Fixed mine


    Hello, was having this same issue for a long time thinking it was caused by some software issue like driver or windows. I was able to fix the card by putting it in my kitchen oven for 8 minutes at 385 degrees Fahrenheit. I removed the dust from the components using 70% isopropyl alcohol with some Q-tips and then I unscrewed all the stuff from the card that could melt, n removed the thermal grease. Then I rolled up some aluminum balls and put them on a tray and the card on top of it. Afterward applied new thermal grease and reconstructed n installed. Its been working perfectly for a whole day, I'll report back here in case it screws up again.

    Hello again everyone, like i said: " I'll report back here in case it screws up again. "
    Yesterday it stopped working again so that means putting it in the oven made it work for a little under two months more. In that time I only used the card for light CAD and video editing(not rendering) and didn't push it very hard at all.

    This morning I put it back into the oven for 8 more minutes at 385 degrees Fahrenheit following the same procedure as above. Afterward I plugged it in and it's working again.Just like before, I'll report back here in case it screws up again.

    I suggest buying a new graphics card if your budget allows. There will come a time when the GPU will stop working after multiple baking.
