I’m going to be straightforward about it. A few days ago I was overclocking and ended up with too much power. When Windows starts, it shows up as a black screen. I used the AMD settings tool (can’t recall its name) and tried removing the battery from the motherboard—only to realize that’s for the CMOS. I’ve previously done a “black screen” before and managed to boot into safe mode, remove the drivers, and restart. However, the drivers won’t uninstall anymore. The progress bar drops about 5cm and then freezes. I assure you, I waited four days without giving up. If anyone has another solution, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Ok so, again im an idiot. You can find ddu applications out there. I just booted into safe mode and downloaded​ one of these. It was extremely easy and it worked. F only thing i had to do was reinstall the drivers when i got back into Windows 7 and change my settings to the way i had them.

So, again I'm making a mistake. You can locate ddu applications online. I just switched to safe mode and downloaded one of these. It was very simple and it functioned properly. The only thing I needed to do was reinstall the drivers when I returned to Windows 7 and adjust my settings accordingly.
