Hey TTG I just got my new Gigabyte r9 280x(GV-R928x0c-3gd) today and when I installed the drivers for it and had to reboot. Once it rebooted it hit the windows logo for windows 7 and the screen went black where it would normally go to a login screen. Currently I am running in safe mode and it seems to be working but only because the cards is being used as a display adapter and not recognized as a graphics card. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
