after having both amd and nvidia drivers after doing some troubleshooting when my previous card went bad, last night finally went through DDU to get rid of all leftovers and installed the 15.7.1 suite.

OMG what a nightmare. Started getting computer lockups (keyboard and mouse would go dark, monitor froze, no log entries made and I had to hard reboot).
only thing I ever saw was during 2 of the 6+ locups was a error message about direct3d just as everything went bad.

Just reinstalled a 14.9 copy I had, lets see how this goes.

When I started troubleshooting this problem, 3 times in a row after using DDU again and trying to install 15.7.1 fresh, when it would ask to resize resolution up to monitor specs selecting yes would instantly lock it up every time, so assuming it is definitely a driver issue.

Why are you using DDU instead of the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility? AMD's removes ALL AMD stuff. There is no way of knowing if this other tool actually gets everything, or if it has been updated for Windows 10.

I also had a set of nvidia drivers installed, and I'm not running win10 (long live WMC!)
