As noted on the AMD website, this Blockchain driver is provided as a beta level and will not be supported with further updates or fixes. When installing Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain Compute for the Windows® operating system, the user must be logged on as Administrator, or have Administrator rights to complete the installation of Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain Compute. If this happens, the use of in mining will be virtually eliminated.
Just use the most current drivers, provided by amd. I have tried the August 11 and August 23 releases of the Windows 7 blockchain driver and miners crash with both.

Has anyone successfully installed the AMD Blockchain Compute Driver released August 23 with a BIOS modified RX470 and Windows 7 64-bit? I have tried and have not been successful. The procedure I followed is: 1. Create a System Restore Point 2. Run Display Driver Uninstaller from safe mode. Install AMD Blockchain Compute Driver released August 23 7. Do NOT reboot 8. Reboot After the final reboot, launching Claymore Dual Miner v10 fails with no error message. So, I am back to running Crimson 16. Not much help here, but when I tried to load the blockchain driver with non -flashed cards , my screen would go blank, and I never could get video to come up. Windows is up and running fine, but no video, no matter which output I pick. I also gave up and went to whatever the latest AMD driver is which seems to use more wattage then my older amd version previously 16 vs 17 driver versions? I tried the Windows 7 Radeon driver 17. Also, the Radeon 17. So, I have returned to using 16. I took every precaution installing the aug 23 update with no luck. I too am getting crashes with no errors.

I don't know if this was e the cause but I lost one 120gb SSD Toshiba Q300. The setup don't recognize it anymore, tested on other machines, other sata cable. I installed everything on other SSD, but thinking to go back to other driver. Has anyone had this problem? I can confirm that the latest amd radeon blockchain drivers don't work on windows 7, my claymore miner chrashes when creating DAG file. BUT robinh00d drivers saved me. His tutorial is simple.
BTW, don't expect to make a mint mining. I don't know if this was e the cause but I lost one 120gb SSD Toshiba Q300. When the pixel patcher is implemented, you can safely reboot the computer. You can found more information on which cards are supported as well as download links on support page.
