Windows 10: AMD drivers causing computer to black screen without a cursor

I'm having an issue installing AMD display drivers on a new windows 10 Operating System. After installing Windows 10, connecting to the internet, and checking for updates my computer will black screen without a cursor when it tries to install AMD display drivers. Rebooting the computer results in a black screen on boot similar to the one when the driver attempted to update. In order to fix this I've used the windows system restore to get back to windows. After this I tried delaying Windows automatic updates and installed the up to date drivers for my graphics card, a Radeon r9 270, off of the amd website. At first the update appears to go well, but when it hits 40% progress results in a black screen without a cursor. After that attempt to solve the problem failed, I tried switching the cable connecting my monitor to the gpu out with another one, but that also resulted in a black screen when attempting to install the amd drivers. At this point I have no idea what to do.

My specs include:

intel i5-4670k cpu

Radeon r9 270 gpu

corsair 400W psu

Windows 10 64 bit OS

500GB SSD

AMD Radeon 6970 drivers cause black screen

I have a AMD Radgeon 6970 graphics card and my computer will frequently black screen, i.e. Nothing is getting sent to my monitor and everything is frozen. Similar to this question and issue: AMD Radeon GPU driver installation cause black screen
This issue does not occur in safe mode. and the computer seems to work fine. There are no hardware events that I see coming out of the gpu, monitor, or processor. The only events I can see are adminstrative events for DCOM 1084 for ShellHWDetection and BITS detection. Is there anywhere I am missing to look for errors for this black screen issue?

Relevant computer info is:
OS - Windows 10 64 Bit - This is a fresh install created recently download from Microsoft media creation tool.
MoBo - https://www.asus.com/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/MAXIMUS_IV_GENEZ/
Processor - i5-2500k
Graphics card - AMD Radeon 6970 - Driver version: 15.200.1055.0

 

black screen with cursor

How can I do the steps listed above, there is nothing but a black screen, nothing to click on. When I restart the computer, there is no problem. But sooner or later I get the black screen. I mean my Mom just bought a brand new computer, and it also does
it to her. Could the screensaver be causing the problem? It is a screensaver that comes with Windows 10.
