You didnt kill the card, its a driver issue well known to all AMD users, basically since windows 10 came out theres been problems with the card loading an overclock with less volts than needed on a windows reboot causing a blackscreen. a lot of us switched to editing the bios to overclock to get around it.
As others suggested the easiest way to solve the blackscreen is to reboot into bios and load an onboard GPU then run DDU and resintall drivers but since you dont have an onboard GPU thats a bit of a problem.
You've probably corrupted your boot files by constantly blackscreen and restarting, ive had it happen a few times in the past, sometimes its fixable by just replacing the corrupted files or sumtimes its just quicker doing a reinstall. With a win10 usb stick with all your drivers on you can reinstall in no time.
If you have a second PC you could always stick your HDD in there and delete the drivers from it manually. Im not sure which drivers exactly you need to delete but i imagine if you delete the "c:\AMD" folder then go into c:\windows\system32\ and c:\windows\syswow64\ then just delete everything starting with AMD and ATI youll probably get the ones ya need to at your own risk ofc
, it will probably be e: or f: rather than c: drive thinking about it but ya know what i mean.
Maybe theres a way to run DDU on a secondary drive, i dont know about that but if there is you could do that also, i remember there was another driver killing program that used to let you select where you wanted to search but i cant remember what it was called as ive used DDU for so long now.
