Display Driver AMD has crashed and recovered

AMD Driver has crashed and recovered, black screen on boot

I've recently fixed my blue screen, but now this error comes up. It comes up regardless of intense activity or not. I have an Gigabyte R9 270x, and I'm using the 14.7 beta drivers. I'm on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I've tried reinstalling drivers; it works, but only if my computer stays on. When my computer turns off overnight, the problem reoccurs in the morning.

Any help is appreciated!

THINGS I'VE ALREADY TRIED:
Reinstalling new drivers, and older ones
Reinstalling Windows
RMA'ing my actual GPU, and Gigabyte said nothing was wrong with it

EDIT:
I'm now using old 14.9 drivers.
I'm getting a new problem. On boot, my screen goes black, however I can still see and move the cursor.

UPDATE: I installed the newest drivers instead of the beta ones. The problem is gone. I will mark this as solved if the issue is gone for a day or two.

Good for you, never trust Beta of anything in any form. Always go for the real thing.

Now there is another problem. After logging onto my PC, the screen goes black, and the fans on my GPU goes 100%. Then the screen flickers back to my desktop, then fans go back to normal. This repeats endlessly. Has anyone heard of this problem?

Is this happening just at boot or continuously afterward and how many watts is your PSU. Knowing the make and model of your computer would help.
Did you get your driver from here:

It was happening just at boot. I don't know if I would happen afterwards because I could never get past that cycle. I installed the old 14.9 drivers, and I am able to log onto my PC. Let's see how far we can go without crashes.
I have a 500 watt PSU, and I built this PC myself.

Yeah, I'm using DDU in safe mode to uninstall them. Sometimes on boot, the GPU doesn't send a signal to my monitor and I'm forced to reinstall the GPU via device manager.

UPDATE: After logging in my PC, the screen goes black with the mouse cursor visible and movable.

Any graphics settings in BIOS that may help get it going? Can you use the Intel graphics if the card is pulled? Would help to know more about your system.

Yep, I'm actually using the Intel graphics right now, and it's working just fine. What do you want to know more about?

Well, guess my point is to be sure latest OEM motherboard chipset drivers and possibly latest BIOS if anything to due with graphics. Is there any kind of hotfix out for that graphics card?

You may have to do a repair install.

Is it important to mention that I was trying to use both Intel and AMD graphics? I have two monitors, one connected to each of them. I'm also using a VGA to DVI adapter to support my monitor.
I will try what the last post suggested.

Um yea, I admit I'm not sure it is possible to do that.

EDIT: I guess it would depend if the motherboard supports it.

I disabled Intel graphics in my BIOS. I'm going to reinstall the newest drivers, and see how it goes.

Well, I'm back to my original problem, which is "AMD driver has crashed and recovered." I might just try reinstalling windows again. Is there a correct way to do this?

Thanks. I'll try that. At this point, I'm ready to hand it over to a repair shop and just give up. So frustrating..
Edit: It says that most likely the drivers will remain. Should I uninstall the drivers before doing this?

If you mean to do uninstall using the AMD installer, I would. The standard graphics driver should install at the very least if everything is working right.
