Windows 10: AMD Crimsion Installer froze computer,but windows update works!

So i reformatted my entire drive and installed Windows 10 Creator x64 brand new.

I update the computer thru windows update.

Now, whenever i install AMD Crimision Relive Edition 17.9.2 or lower(like 17.5.0) it freezes AFTER the point where the computer monitor turns black and turn back on. The installation bar would progress and when gets to the end, the entire computer freezes.

I tried using AMD CLEANUP. It freezes at the beginning.

SO i am thinking near the end of installation, the software is cleaning up and that where the freezing occur.

The good news is that i can use windows update thru device manager to update AMD driver to the latest version with ZERO problem.

My card is a XFX BLack edition 7950 3GB.

Anyone having this issue?

AMD update froze my computer

Hi Bob,

I suggest you to perform clean boot and check, using this Microsoft Article because may be a third party application is causing this issue.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

NOTE:

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You may also troubleshoot
or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot. You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot. Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when you perform a clean boot. When
you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original error message, or experience the original behavior if the problem still exists. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent
you from following these steps.

Once you perform clean boot do refer to the section “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting” to boot the computer in normal mode.

Let us know the status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank you.
