So this is my issue I was playing border lands 2 and watching YouTube on 2nd monitor when I went to switch to Google chrome game minimized like normal then I clicked chrome and screen with YouTube was black main screen was get with dark lines then pc rebooted so I thought then turned into reboot 4 times or so then I got trouble shoot blue screen so I try a recovery and it rebooted same thing.g back to blue screen once again so I did a recovery and keep files did all the things till screen undoing changes then rebooted and all over rebooting to blue screen so I try the repair Windows unable to start option and that failed and again to blue screen so then I tried the next option boot in safe mode that worked just fine so I'm running my advanced system care see if can repair the issue but I feel that I won't find issue I have read in past win update causing people to do full install if anyone possibly know way to uninstall a recent update that maybe corrupt or failed that might be the fix if not any other suggestions are welcome

40mins later i found a thread saying to disable display in device manager rebooted out of safe mode this time so with no prob so I'm guessing u need roll back my video card driver and then enable it?
was a display driver crash ?

Oh it's not solved the issue persist after trying several drivers ver. come to find out there is no real 100% fix other then maybe 50/50 chance of baking your video card i guess? not sure what exsacly that means but from what i found you have to RMA your video card if u can because drivers are in a way frying the cards in a weird way after installing a new driver it renders then video card unusable but setting to basic driver allows you to use pc but can't really game on it i've try'd everything to reinstalling windows to 5 diffrent drivers to uninstalling it complete with driver uninstall utility also done repair boot tools in cmd prompt to shutting off fast boot and turning off onboard graphics to removing it and using onboard then disabling onboard and then putting card back into machine nothing works so many others have this what they call driver install black screen

Wow..... that's interesting.
Can you share with us, which video adapter (both integrated as well as add-in if applicable) you have installed and any other specifics as to the Make and Model Name and number of your computer or motherboard you'd care to share.
It could very well prove helpful to other members and visitors and personally.....
I'd be very interested, if for no other reason than knowing what I might want to avoid.

Right click the start button and from the context menu choose "Run"
In the "Run" dialog box type
msinfo32
hit enter or click OK
The system summary page should provide some information

Nothing reported as to the system or its' motherboard
System Manufacturer: To Be Filled By O.E.M.

The BIOS

MIght be worth looking into and seeing if the system or motherboard manufacturer might have a firmware update that might address your issue.
You will need to determine exact and specific information on your system as you wouldn't want to flash a firmware update that wasn't intended for your system.
Do you have any system documentation or a motherboard manual?

It's possible, so you might want to check Windows Update -> Update History -> near the bottom "Driver Updates.
In looking here (must use Internet Explorer or possibly Edge) http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=amd+radeon+r7+370
I see 22.19.162.4 available for that card through the Windows Update Catalog dated 4/24/2017
Which might be something worth trying, making sure that you download the correct bit version (64 bit) according to your post above.
Use the one with the "TM" designation since that seems to match more closely your hardware ID.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon (TM) R7 370 Series
Worth a shot, although Windows Update might update it again after a while.

First thing is to go back in to the device manager and re enable the graphics card. Go to AMD's website, and download the latest driver for your card. Download DDU (display driver uninstaller) http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html . Unzip it and extract DDU v17.0.6.8.exe in to that folder. Now reboot in to safe mode. Go back to that folder and run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe. Click the "clean and restart" option. Let it run, and it will restart the PC. After it restarts, install the graphics driver you downloaded.

Hopefully that will take care of your issue. If not, then there may be a physical issue with the card.

okay so i've done all that used the DDU disabled and reinstalled couple times still nothing and used basic display driver to boot back normal windows and attempted to do that way nothing still same issue so i finaly took scary step of a fresh install so as i did so everything was okay for about a hour and then i installed driver booster after it rebooted and i had to disable display adapter once again boot back in normal windows then ran driver booster and said R7 370 was faulty in red *sad face* so i posted all my findings to XFXforce.com support team we'll see where we go from there sence my card isn't under warrenty anymore i doubt i'll get a new one but maybe they are good company and will help me out

then i installed driver booster after it rebooted and i had to disable display adapter
then ran driver booster and said R7 370 was faulty in red *sad face*
While I don't have any personal experience with that program, I have often found that purported driver assistance programs are very seldom the best source for drivers and rarely produce optimal results.
I'm not sure why if
i finaly took scary step of a fresh install so as i did so everything was okay
You would have used "driver booster" at all, especially for anything as critical as a video driver, when in most instances the manufacturer or alternatively the microsoft update catalog is going to usually be the better choice for the proper driver.

in most cases i would agree with using 3rd party driver programs are not very wise but iobit programs are top of the line stuff never fails to install latest and newest drivers i mean sure i could go to the website download driver but driver booster always gets me same file i need anyway hasn't faile me in the 6 years i've used it hence why i pay for pro version

so i reverted back to a old card i had the pny gtx 650 2gig it'll work for now and driver booster got drivers right away updated it runs like a charm till so yea it surely was the xfx r7 370 card that is at fault/drivers because some reason it has this thing about driver signing or something that wanted me to by pass to install the driver that was before i reinstalled so i don't know what that was about but i read was something to do with amd pushing driver ver. for hotfix before getting them digitaly signed or something

Glad you found a remedy if not an actual solution.
I'm a bit uncomfortable talking about AMD video cards as I abandoned them a few years back because of some Windows 7 issues with CCC (Catalyst Control Center) which grew to be a pretty big resource hog and now they have Crimson or something such that doesn't appear to be a whole lot better.
I switched over to nVidia cards and never looked back, although they seem to be following in the same footsteps with their nVidia Experience *BS*. When it comes to hardware I prefer, just the drivers, and don't particularly want a whole suite of software.

I'm glad you at least found an answer, even though it's not the ideal one. I've had good luck with AMD cards over the years. The only one I ever had fail (knock on wood) was an old Nvidia tnt2 card. I did have the fans fail on my present AMD card (which was also out of warranty), Not AMD's fault, since it was Sapphire's own cooling solution. I ended up buying new fans on ebay and replacing them myself. I've never dealt wit XFX. Hopefully they can help you out. Sapphire was no help to me.

yea i hope XFX can help even thou it's not under the 2 year thing i don't see on there info about it that r7 300 series is covered by limited or life time .. and on product site the model number i have isn't even on there products it's weird i wonder if the card i have was discontinued due to not holding up to staying cool at 60c on high load mine always was 70c while gaming never really whent over that was/is a great card even thou double dissipation said on box wasn't 100% keeping it cool but i didn't mind seeing how that ever where i looked said u could have it up to 90c before it was in danger zone of heat hopefully with there reply saying they are looking into warranty and see if i can RMA for a fix but i doubt it i got the card back in 2015 but i took really good care of it once a week or so dusted it out
crossing my fingures even if i have to pay for shiping cost and all that i'm more then glad to

and about me switching from nvidia cards to amd i use to only perfer nividia because they supported the phisx thing right but i was more into useing dual or 3 way monitors and amd cards really shines in that aspect and physx isn't like needed thing so i didn't mind switching

70c is perfectly acceptable for the r7 300 series. Reference cards run hotter than that. My hd7950 (overclocked) can hit 74c playing Battlefield 1. I wouldn't be concerned unless it reached 80c for a long period of time

As far as a warranty, each board partner is different. I'm not too familiar with XFX. My Sapphire card was 3 years. Of course the fans failed 2 months later. It was most likely discontinued because the RX series came out about a year ago and replace the 300 series.

I hope you have luck getting a resolution from them.

thanks bigfeet i hope everything works out in the end yea i think only pushed like 80c once that was when it was like 110F in my room sence was so hot outside and i'm up stairs but that was couple months ago yea i read that the nividia 1080 or whatever is called can reach 90c and still be stable but in my mind 90c is like 200F that's insane lol but yeah that's prob what happend it was just out dated being that it was kinda a budget card maybe? now there are better in that price range few years later so prob just stop manufacturing it
