MSI R9 270X Gaming 4G Black Screen of Death after driver install...

So I recently updated the drivers and AMD catalyst to the newest version. After doing that and restarting my pc, it will load to the Windows loading screen, then to the black screen of death. When I restart under last known good configuration, I can start windows, but I don't have the drivers installed. This is a fresh install, and no matter what I do, it ends in the same result. I've tried restoring the PC, and I can start windows again, but again. No drivers. I can't find an older version of the drivers that worked before. I'm just frustrated because I have 2 of the cards, and a quad display. But i can't use them... After researching, I found that this is a common issue, But I can't seem to fix it.

From your post in another thread I guess you tried 14.4 from MSI site. Use latest official AMD one (14.12) instead: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064

R9 270X Gaming 2G Black Screen

I have the same problem which many are having. msi r9 270x 2gb gaming OC, Black Screen after catalyst drivers intall. I have tried various drivers, including 14.7 RC1 beta drivers.
First time i installed drivers provided on msi website (AMD_13101_78_vga), those worked fine until once i rebooted after 20 minutes. One thing i did was used the msi fast boot without using fast boot program installed in windows 8.1.
Things i have done already:
1. formatted pc many times
2. used all the various versions of catalyst
3. Cleared CMOS (removes battery for and hour, shorted for 10 seconds to reset)
4. done bios flash with atiwinflash in windows with MSI.R9270X.2048.131129.rom 015.041.000.000.003348 (from techpowerup.com); one thing i noticed after using this rom that without catalyst drivers installed, i can see windows recognize that my gpu has 256mb memory which was before only showing 8mb before this bios update. but again after catalyst 14.4 this black screen came back again.
My card serial number is - S/N: 602-v303-070B1404044342,
Please provide me with the bios to use with this card and how to flash it again if atiwinflash is not advisable.
Also tell me which catalyst drivers to use for stable system if not 14.4 or should i use provided on msi site 13.101
And i am using an HDMI cable and even changing to dvi it does show black screen.
Thank You.
Help me i am completely frustated with this card.

I already mentioned the vbios version i am on and that is 015.041.000.000.003348, since the card is not installing drivers and screen going black, how can i can save the vbios version for upload.
ok i will try gpuz or nvflash and will upload if it doesnt help
I flashed using 015.041.000.000.003348 this bios. and after flashing atiwinflash gave me a message:
Old bios: (Nothing written here)
New Bios: 015.041.000.000.003348
All these numbers are 100% useless as these do not reperesent an MSI vbios version.

4.) Be aware that gpu-z screenshots or what gpu-z reads out as bios version are NOT of any use for identifying the required vbios version. While it doesn't hurt to add those when S/N and an actual copy of the vbios are also supplied simply just adding screenshots or version readouts will not get you any further and us having to ask for the required informations.
As Svet already said we need the actual vbios.

Black screen of death after warning "Disk 1 has the same disk identifiers as one or more disks connected to the system. "

Hi,
I am having the same problem / event warning, only one second after the warning occurs, I face a black screen of death leaving me with no other option than to switch off and reboot. After reboot I can work for some time but as far as I can see there is a
spontaneous re-occurance of the same warning and subsequent black screen of death.
It is hugely frustrating and don't seem to be able to solve it. It occurred in W8/W8.1 and W10 TP. All hardware seems fine. There are no other events that occur near the time when the BSOD occurs so I suppose its that.
HD (SSD'S) seem to have unique identifiers so I don't understand it at all. It does not matter whether I am browsing the internet, rendering images or simply leaving my laptop untouched (M6500 DELL).
Please help. It occurs 3 - 5 times a day and it seems unworkable.
Mike

Hi MAVH2014,
Which version are you running? Do you installed all updates for current Technical Preview?
Can you find any related events in Event Viewer?
For your disk identifier issue, if you have checked them already, I suggest you use following command to change the value:
Uniqueid

Anyone else getting the BLACK screen of death after Kitkat 4.4 update?

Ever since the update, my phone is wacked, like everyone elses. I got my Samsung Galaxy S4 a month ago. Beautiful, loved it. Update happens: I want to pitch this thing as far as I can throw it.
The phone rings. I go to answer it but all I have is a BLACK SCREEN which is LOCKED. I have the lock on the screen, but if the screen is black, you can't see it - and you can't answer the phone! One day, I got a message, and could not get to that. Why? the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH.
Someone told me to turn off Samsung Watch On and that has helped with some of the issues. But I still get the screen occasionally, and my battery life is GONE.
How do we get rid of this update? Should I just call Verizon and get a new phone with the OLD software? I hate this. I feel like I was the victim of bait and switch.

ltg123 - did you resolve the problem yet? If so, let me know how.
My (hopefully temporary) solution was to turn off my "Lock Screen" ... to do this, go to Settings, My Device, Lock Screen ... and select None.
The only issue is that you would no longer have any security for your phone and would be vulnerable to someone stealing your phone and having full access to whatever is on your phone that does not require a separate id and password. Dangerous, yes ... but, for me right now, it's better than not having any access to my own phone!
The Android update simply sucks ... some heads should roll for allowing such a crappy update to get (no pun intended) rolled out.

Msi R9 270X Hawk 2Gb Black Screen

It is unfortunate that this is a problem that repeat this often.
I bought the card in February 2014 and been running perfectly until a few days ago came the famous "black screens" to load the drivers, I've tried everything:
- Completely clean installation S.O. W7 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 ---> ERROR
- Completely clean installation S.O. W8.1 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 and the new bios Hybrid for W8 ---> ERROR
- Restore backups S.O. (W7 x64) where the card working properly ---> ERROR
- With the default drivers S.O. Catalyst drivers without the graphics card works perfectly but is useless for games.
I came to think that it is a hardware error and therefore RMA process.
This is the last step I can take before RMA, if no solution with a new vBios these
believe are the necessary data:

Hi all I've had the r9 270x for 3 months now and it ran like a champ. I ran Sims 4 the day it came out and worked for what seemed 30 mins and I come across a black screen.
Boots up fine but at login screen I get the same black screen. I've gone as far as formatting my computer several times.
I had it in PCI express 3.0 x16/x8 slot 1
Here are my specs.
Mobo: Asus ROG Maximus V Extreme
PSU: Antec HCG-900
GPU: MSI Radeon r9 270x OC edition

Any type of help would be appreciated :(

Does the computer work with the integrated GPU? Have you tested the vga in another machine or can you?

MSI R9 290 Gaming 4GB Black Screen/Freeze Issue

Hello All,
I just received my new MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming. 4GB. It freezes/locks up upon booting into windows. If I do not install the drivers. It does not lock up. As soon as I install any driver, it goes to a black screen, and locks up. I have read the forums, and see a few other people have reported this issue. I have tried the following AMD Catalyst drivers 14.7(beta), 14.1, 13.2. All still have the same issue. I have tried installing the driver manually(via device manager) with out the CCC. I have also tried the native drivers from MSI's website. still same issue. Not sure what else to do here. I am using a CoolerMaster RS-850Watt power supply. Windows 8.1 Pro. Here are the rest of the details of my setup. Anyone know of a fix for this issue?

Hey guys, thanks for trying to help. I ended up going back to the retailer. memory express. They determined that the card was DOA. They exchanged it and provided me a new card. New card has no issues. thank you for the help.

Had my first experience with this just now. Shut down the MBPr for it's longest off time since getting it last week (about 6 hrs) and logged in to the BSOD.
My go-to solution on any other MacBook has always been the PRAM reset.
Restart your machine. Hold down CMD+OPT+P+R before the gray screen shows up (harder now than on the older, slower machines). Keep holding it down until the startup sound plays 2 or 3 times. Then release the keys and let it boot up normally.
No idea why this works. Don't have any clue what PRAM even is or what it would have to do with all this - but it worked for me. At least this time. Maybe it won't the next!
Hope it helps you all...

Bootcamp partition Black Screen of Death after restore from DMG file + mbr rebuild

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro 15", and my hard drive died the other day. Thankfully I had a bitwise copy (non-compressed DMG file) of my Bootcamp partition from that morning via Disk Utility, and I had all of my Mac data backed up through Time Machine.
The new disk was installed with the factory default Mac OS. I was told to try and restore the Windows partition before I restored my Mac partition. I spent all weekend and the past two days trying to restore my Windows... I took it to the Mac store and they said this was "not in their skill set to assess".
First through Bootcamp I installed Windows 7 (I still have the original install disk!), then I restarted in the Recovery partition (that comes with Mac) to load the DMG file onto the Bootcamp partition. I had to load the DMG file into the source files on the left of Disk Utility by clicking it twice, and then selected all the files as the source image in the "Restore" tab of the Bootcamp drive, and the Bootcamp partition as the destination. Everything went smoothly as far as I can tell.
Here's where things go south. I restart, after the image is loaded onto the Bootcamp partition, into Bootcamp and I receive a "Missing Operating System" error.
I then run through all of the bootrec.exe functions
bootsec.exe /nt60 all /force (which resulted in "Bootcode was successfully updated on at least one volume.")
I ran DISKPART to flag the partition as active and navigated to Partition 4 (Bootcamp) and the readback was
"Partition 4 Type : 07 Hidden : No Active : Yes Offset in Bytes : 320108232704 Volume # - Volume 1 Ltr - C Label - BOOTCAMP Fs - NTFS Type - Partition Size - 165 GB Status - Healthy"
chkdsk C: /f went well too if I remember correctly.
The only part that keeps my hopes up is that from Mac I can see all of my Windows files, it recognizes the Bootcamp partition, and everything is right in place. Any help is greatly appreciated! Also if anybody knows a better way to restore Bootcamp from a DMG please let me know! Thank you so much in advance for any feedback you may be able to provide. I can boot from my Windows installer and run any commands, and terminal is a thing

Thinkpad X61 screen not working after driver install?

Recently I decided to change my operating system on my Thinkpad X61 so I completly refreshed the system and installed Windows 7 . I finished the install and it seemed to boot properly . As I began to install my drivers via the Lenovo website it asked for a RESART. After restarting the PC it wouldnt show a screen . I've tried to connect to another output and that didnt work.
As for the motherboard theory I honestly dont think that is the problem because I've seen several people on several forums discuss the same problem and they've found a solution but I cant seem to get anyone to discuss what that solution was.
I am a student so I am in need of my computer so if someone could please help me as soon as possible.
Moderator note; moved to correct board

Are you really talking about X61? If so, this is the wrong forum, but regardless, here is what to do. Pull the battery out. Unplug the machine, and press the power button several times, holding it for 5 seconds the last time. Put the battery back and plug it in. Turn it on and try to boot into the BIOS. If the screen stays black, either the screen or the motherboard has died. If you can plug it into an external monitor and try again, you can tell which one it is.

Blue screen of death after fresh install of Win7 onto bootcamp!

So I am currently running:
I had this problem when I installed windows on bootcamp before but was told there was a driver error or it was a bad install on the windows. So I did a fresh install deleted the partition. I re-installed Windows 7 again with a different disk just to be safe. I am getting the exact same problem after I install all the drivers from the Bootcamp driver download. I feel like the problem could be related with the drivers being downloaded from the bootcamp software thats pre-installed on the mac. Any thoughts, any help?!
Thanks,
Ryan

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. The first thing you will want to check is if there are any issues with the hard drive you put in. Run the BIOS diagnostics for the hard drive and the hard ware to make sure there are no issues. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) And. HP Notebook PCs - Testing a Hard Disk from the BIOS Please let me know how things go. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

Try the latest UEFI vbios:
Decompress the attached .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (1A0.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.1A0) on that stick.
Rename TV303MH.1A0 to 1A0.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive provided on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 1A0.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.
If still no help run the Gaming APP in OC or Gaming mode and see if that helps: http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip

MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right

Pretty much what the title says, 'MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right'. Does anyone have any idea why it does this? It hangs for a while before eventually continuing with the start-up, this is most frustrating when I have an SSD and want a quick start-up. I have already looked it up in the manual to no luck. Help?

9C last for me like 1 to 3s, depending on the amount of USB devices attached. If I have only USB printer, keyboard, and mouse attached, it shows for roughly less than 1.5s.

Yeah, you provided the wrong S/N... It IS 602-V303-03SB and not 602-V303-02SB as you said, no wonder the confusion (and although I already asked..). Hence you have a regular Gaming and the provided vbios is definitely correct. If there is a switch on the card it is to switch between legacy and UEFI/GOP vbios (no middle position).
