Hello guys,
my problem is that when I try to install my AMD GPU drivers in my Windows 10 Guest it blackscreens and becomes unresponsive. After rebooting the Host I can get the VM running again, but when I shut the guest down I can’t restart it, without getting “no signal” on my monitor and/or complete system lockup.
I’ve read about a reinitialization bug on some AMD cards, but I haven’t found any topics with the card I am using, pretty much all said this card would be fine. I’ve tried several different BIOSs but nothing really helped.

It would be really great if anyone could help me because I just can’t find any solution to the problem.
Thanks in advance.
