Crimson Driver not working on a 7970

[Foxslink]

Hi
One day I turned on my PC to find a nasty surprise, the dreaded black screen of death, so i had to re formatt and install the OS again, all the drivers and then the latest amd crimson 15.2 driver , after rebooting then I find the same problem again, after windows logo the screen goes black and i cant do nothing about it, no matter how many different versions of the driver I try, the card wont work and the crash keeps happening
I even updated the Bios, tried different version of Windows, flashed the Bios, removed the card, cleaned it , put it back, etc, but sadly, so far nothing's worked. Im starting to think this is a hardware issue, either the Card or the Mainboard are doing something wrong, but i cant pinpoint which one is it nor what is the flaw. I will add a link to a thread I made on AMD forums where you can find more details on the story and Specs of my system. Any help will be appreciated

Do you have a second PC to test the GPU?

Also, on your MB, can you put it into another PCIE slot?

i forgot to reply and tell you the good news, the problem was fixed thanks to another user who had the same issue, all i had to do was to disable the onboard Intel HD graphics from device management and everything back to normal. The driver i installed is Radeon Crimson 15.11, im really surprised it worked, i was going to try first the Catalyst one but didnt have to, maybe it would've worked as well.
But now I feel this driver is not very friendly with the GPU, maybe its intended for more recent cards, not for a 7970, would I notice a performance increase if I switch to an older Catalyst drive? Or maybe i should move to Win8 to have that extra perf over Win7, what do you think? thanks for your feedback

Yeah, your computer was fine, you just couldn't see anything. You didn't need to do all of that work.

The AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2 Driver is compatible with the following AMD products.

...

AMD Radeon™ HD 7700 - HD 7900 Series Graphics

Yea, it's ironic that his igpu became/set as the active display so all he needed to do what move the connector to the igp, voila display again. That and/or disable igpu in bios. Chock this one up to fundamental user error.
