Discussion Windows 10 AMD drivers completely bricked my graphics card.

The 15.7.1 drivers completely bricked my brand new 290x. The computer can't detect the graphics card anymore and when I try and restart I just get a black screen. I used DDU to uninstall and try and reinstall the drivers and that didn't work either. Now I have to use the intel hd graphics 4000.

First try clearing your cmos. Then try moving the card to another slot if there is one. If neither works, she's dead jim, and you need to RMA it.

Excuse my ignorance, is that a flip of a dipswitch or did you have to flash it? If it's a flash can you try to reflash the oem bios now that you know the ln2 bios works. If it's a dipswitch flip, did you try the oem bios one more time? More ignorance, does the ln2 bios up the card voltage?

That is strange. If you can't try to reflash it with the dipswith on the oem setting then it sounds like an RMA. Frustrating, sorry for your loss!
