My amd drivers keep crashing for no reason and I've done alot of things to try and fix it
E.g; Take the RAM out and back in
Remove the graphics card and put it back in
reinstall the drivers but i don't know what else to do



Does anyone know what to do? Or should I just get a 770?

check the temps and the overclock on your card. make sure neither is too high.

Hello... can you give us more System specs? OS 32/64? Video card model/brand? MB model/brand? What driver are you trying to use and where are you Downloading it? Are you downloading/using any Free APPS with your Video Card/Computer?
Can you describe your "Crash" and when it happens?

Temps are constantly around 40C underload (According to the catalyst centre)
And the clock speed is it 1000Mhz
Is that okay?

40 degrees under load is not normal for that card unless you actually live in a freezer with no heat (like literally your room temperature is at freezing temperature or below)

also check cpu temps, as freezing would and requiring a restart is very likely a cpu overheating problem.
get coretemp, and gpu-z for your monitoring software

I thought that i'll just re-test it again to see the temp

First step, clean all heatsinks with compressed air, for both cpu and gpu. make sure that the cooler is properly installed on your cpu, as if it isnt, the cpu will overheat fairly quickly and cause a freeze/shutdown of your computer

now, you are getting gpu-z to tell you the MAX temp right? because if you are reading anything other than the max temp, and it's at 65, then you may have a hot video card. Try a gpu stress program rather than a game, or run the game in windowed mode in order to see the temps up till the point you get a crash
