Updated AMD drivers, now there's no signal when I try to install a driver

So, I installed the ton of windows updates from yesterday, rebooted, and then decided to try updating my graphics drivers too since I had been getting an intermittent issue with a corrupt mouse cursor, so I tried to update from the 14.4 to the 14.7 beta. Installed over the top as always, but during the driver install both monitors went blank stating no signal, and went into standby. Left it for a few minutes, no change. Rebooted, and it took me to the login screen before no signal again. Rebooted once more and I was down at 800x600 mirrored over both monitors with no graphics drivers installed.

So, I uninstalled all AMD stuff, rebooted, installed the 14.7 again, exactly the same problem.
So I grabbed the 14.6 beta, tried installing that, same problem. So I gave up and tried to install the 14.4 drivers I had been running before, still the same problem!

Out of desparation I am now running whatever driver windows update was offering me, on the grounds that it had to be better than the standard windows drivers, but I'd rather have a proper AMD driver installed!

Any options/ideas on what I can do to get my card working again?
