AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson ReLive 17.6.1 Drivers
AMD released the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.6.1 beta drivers. The drivers come with optimization for "DiRT 4," including an AMD CrossFire profile, and up to 30 percent improvement in frame-rates with 8x MSAA cranked up. The drivers also improve performance of "Prey" (2017) by up to 4 percent, as tested on a machine with a Radeon RX 580 8 GB graphics card.
The drivers also fixed a number of issues, including virtual super-resolution (VSR) not correctly enabling on certain Radeon RX 400 and RX 500-series GPUs; HDR not correctly enabling on certain WQHD or higher-resolution displays; flickering noticed on some WQHD or higher-resolution displays connected via HDMI; fast mouse movements causing a frame-rate drop in "Prey" (2017); "Mass Effect: Andromeda" noticing a stutter with multi-GPU systems; and a system hang noticed on Radeon R9 390 series GPUs with the memory overclocked using a third-party application. Grab the driver from the link below.

Edit:
I reverted back to the older (17.5.2) driver and everything is working fine. Something's wrong with the 17.6.1 installer.
The drivers don't work it says i'm on 17.5.2 :( .

You might want to check that thread, i installed the Driver Packge on a Fresh Windows7 x64 install with all updates, and even tried on a second System with a old PhenomII and still not working. The Driver or Package must be faulty.
I found several threads regarding this issue, when asked on those threads about their issues AMD_Matt (Mod or Radeon Developer) accused me of "hijacking" their threads.
Anyway, you could try reaching AMD and do a report of the issue here:

I redownloaded the drivers too for being sure they where not faulty XD.
