Can you get to task manager via CTRL ALT DEL. If so try "file" then "new task". Type in explorer.exe. See if anything comes up that way.

If that does not work I would uninstall ALL AMD software.  Reboot. Then reinstall AMD software.

I cannot run task manager. I will uninstall in safe mode

Hi, I am running a MSI 280x and a Sapphire 7950 and whenever i turn my rig on it freezes. So i took out my 7950 and it works again. I put my 7950 in another slot and it froze again!?!?!

UPDATE: I turned on the rig when i put the 7950 in another slot and it didn't freeze. Windows said.... installing driver software. Like the thing that happens when you put a new usb stick in etc

After it installed the drivers, the rig crashed. So currently i am running just a MSI 280x.

How can I fix this? My rig crashes on startup when my 7950 is in. It was working fine 2 days ago with both gpu's. So to put a long story short... windows crappy driver updates makes my rig freeze every time i put my 7950 in. Should I re-install catalyst?

Freezes where? If it does on windows loading screen than start in safe mode and see which file it fails to load (it will be the file after the last one shown - so just google "windows freeze after loading xyz file").

Freezes on desktop. Black background... nothing comes up ... no icons
