Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[tybug099]

I'm not sure if this is the best of places to ask this question, but I see people asking all over the place and I -think- I narrowed down my problem to the CRU. I'm using the QX2710 Evolution II 1440p monitor and up until recently it had been working fantastically for me. I'm using a Sapphire R9 290 tri-x graphics card and I had successfully overclocked the monitor to ~110 - 115 hz.

Just recently I used drivesweeper (now DDU) to sweep out my drivers and start all over again because all the past updates were clogging up my computer. I reinstalled 16.1 for windows 10 64 bit, but whenever I try to overclock my monitor to 1920x1080 it just gives me a black screen. Even if I leave it at 60 hz, it gives me a black screen whenever I try to switch to it. Every time I try to do the custom resolution from the new amd control panel, it says it's not supported and automatically reverts it.

I can successfully patch my driver with toasty's patch, and if I switch to 1920 x 1080 without using cru it's fine, but as soon as I try to set up a custom resolution, it messes up. I tried the reduced lcd or standard lcd (whichever it was) fix that toasty had put in their little FAQ, but whenever I do that, it automatically reverts to manual timing. So I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm probably missing something very simple. Can anyone help?
