Hello, recently I got this concerning issue when I have a video driver installed I get Black screen. This started happening when I didn't have a monitor and no mouse/keyboard connected to it, since I was working with my other computer while this one was supposed to boot up, when I connected my monitor and all it was black.
I found a similar post from 2019 but that solution doesn't apply to my case My GPU is Radeon R9 270

What I have tried so far:
* Recovery to earlier date
* Windows diagnostics
* Remove graphics drivers in safe mode using DDU
The last point is the most interesting because when I did that I could actually boot up in windows (with low resolution) and my computer crashes only when I have an active video driver on. What could cause this? The drivers worked flawlessly before. I have no idea how to fix this
