    Hey

    Ran into a problem with my R3. Just installed a 6970m in it. It had the 6870m in it before. Booted OK the first time. Got into windows and inticated that new drivers installing. After install completed i tried to open CCC but it gave me CCC error and something about AMD driver.

    So i installed the new 12.2 and right in the midle i got a BSOD. After restart drivers were gone and screen was default size. Did the install again and said it was done and needed a restart.....now as soon as the loading screen ends i get a white screen for a sec and BSOD....no matter what i do.

    Safemode works.

    Any ideas ?

    Windows repair was unable to resolve the problem.
