How do I resolve bootcamp AMD error 173?

80% of the time i startup on windows, I get the black screen of death. At random, when it does successfully launch windows 10, I am left with a number of issues with my GPU. When I try to update my driver software, radeon gives me the error 173, saying it cannot recognize the hardware that came installed on my 2013 Mac Pro.

What do now?

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

Issues with Bootcamp (Black Screen) - Mac Mini 2020 Hello - I've recently purchased a new Mac Mini 2020 3.0GHz 6-Core i5 and am looking to install Windows 10 via Bootcamp. I've tried this a few times by following other threads, but am still having issues so I'd figure I'd start my own. Multiple attempts to install windows via bootcamp has not gotten me further than "Getting Devices Ready" during the windows install, and does not successfully reboot rather just show no input while keeping the Mac Mini powered on with a few at rebooting. This seems like the black screen error described in some other threads. I tried installing the 1511 version of W10, which is now giving me an error during install of something along the lines of "cannot repair boot permissions". I believe I need to reset my PRAM (have already tried but unsure if successful given I didn't hear a noise through external setup). I have the newest version of Catalina installed, and am inclined to wipe the Mac HDD and start fresh. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction, and I will provide more information when I am back home later today.

Create a Windows System Restore point, and install the update and test.

Nope

Well, there was a new update available for the drivers, but not windows itself if that’s what you meant
