Troubleshooting GPU/driver issue

[Tacitus]

Hi everyone

The other day I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my PC, reinstalled my GPU drivers (R9 290x) and away I went.

However, every time I turn off the PC and turn it back on I get the 'Kernel Security Check Error' when I enter my password to get onto my PC, it freezes, and I have to system restore to get back to pre-driver Windows.

I really don't know why this is happening as it was not happening before, no hardware changes have been made.

Is anyone else having this issue with AMD drivers, and could anyone recommend me a stable set of drivers to use?

This has happened with:

17.5.2
17.3.2
17.10

Thanks

Can you post some screens from Reliability Monitor or Event Viewer with the errors selected? At least to see what processes or files are involved.
Or even better check the Minidump folder from C:\Windows and upload the .dmp files somewhere.
