Hello,

I just bought my new graphics card, a Sapphire Radeon R7 240 2gb, plugged it in my pc and installed the driver from the attached cd. Everything seemed to be fine, but there is something wrong. When I am using the computer on my graphic card for about 15 minutes, it randomly turns into a black screen, and my monitor says there's no signal. And I think my computer isn't responding anymore either.

I have
Asus P5QL Pro
7 GB Ram
Seagate 7200.10 320 GB Hard Drive
Sapphire Radeon R7 240 2GB


Can somebody please help me?

Yeah, I tried the one from the Sapphire site (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/downloads/?pid=2021&psn=0006&lid=1&os=6), but that also didn't worked..

By the way, the problem has changed. My computer doesn't totally stop right now. It freezes for a couple of seconds, black screen for a few seconds and then my screen recovers with the message: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.

Ive had some issues with my gtx geforce 560ti. My computer would start freezing and going insanely slow, I believed it was my graphics display drivers. I tried a couple previous driver versions to no avail and just lived with the problem as it would happen only occasionally. Then I found some beta drivers freshly released, went out on a limb and installed them and haven't had a problem since.
