Hi everyone,
So there is a bit of a story here, but I will include a TL:DR at the bottom. Now, I currently am sporting a Saphire RX480 8gb. I tried to update the drivers a few times over the months but each time the amd software would freeze up (for hours on end) and I would just kill it. Today I tried again except my screen went black at some point during the installation. With no other option, I restarted my computer.
Needless to say, my monitor no longer gets a signal from the computer, I have tried both of the card's HDMI ports, and do not have the means to test out the other ports. I used my integrated graphics (from cpu) to start messing around here is what I tried:
1: Use DDU to clean wipe any drivers and reinstall the proper ones, making sure to prevent windows 7 from reinstalling drivers automaticaly.
2. Used the auto detect tool to reinstall the drivers.
3. Restarted computer and got this message.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 several times out of desperation.
Now, I tried to update the drivers for a while now because the past few days my screen would flicker and a weird noise would be sent through my headphones (connected through an audio jack). This was only for the past few days.
My specs:
Windows 7
i7-2600
12gb RAM
TL:DR
Got a black screen during another failed driver update, restarted computer as it was inaccessible, no signal started coming from the card. Tried to resintall drivers cleanly, now I get the message mentioned up top, and still not signal from card.
Thanks in advance!

Solved! Go to Solution.
Just a suggestion or two.
1) upgrade to win10
2) don't use the auto detect. Go to Radeon™ RX 480 Previous Drivers | AMD and grab 18.5.1 or 18.5.2 or the latest and download and install manually after using DDU.

Thanks for the suggest! I haven't been ignoring you, just running busy with uni. I'll get around to try it sometime 2mrw, I'll post here how it went!
Hi I'm back, I did not have the means to upgrade to windows 10, however, getting the old driver got it working again. Then I made a restore point just in case and tried going to the newest driver which worked out fine. So thank you for the fix/suggestion!
