I have 4xRX 480 using Claymore v9.8 (also with v9.7) is crashing in Windows 7 (x64) with AMD Blockchain drivers. Anyone else has similar problem?

EDIT: I followed recommended steps as follows:
1) uninstalled MSI Afterburner in normal mode
2) using DDU to clean up drivers in safe mode
3) installed Blockchain drivers in normal mode
4) patched newly installed drivers in normal mode
5) restarted my rig
6) run claymore without OC
7) got message "Windows closed this program"

yes, i basically did the exact steps you did, claymore 9.8 exits at the pool prompt. win7 did recognize all cards.

seems win7 users are out of luck on this one. not going to switch to win 10, not worth the effort at this point.

Exactly. Considering what others are facing its not worth it to switch to win 10 just for this. Hope this beta gets an update or claymore does.

a fresh windows 10 install with all the updates/drivers/setup is less than an hour btw. Just backup all your mining programs and their batch file before.

I'll wait for another Claymore update before "upgrading" to Win10. I hope the problem is in Claymore miner and not in drivers. AMD wrote that they will not update blockchain drivers anymore.
