AMD Drivers keep crashing for no reason? HELP!

Danzthename · Jan 23, 2014

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?

Brantyn Gerik :

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

Ironsounds :

PC Specs:
Windows 8 64 bit
GPU Model: VTX3D AMD Radeon 280x
All that happens is my game freezes and crashes then i have to restart my computer
MB: Msi 787-GD65
Driver: Catalyst 13.12 (off the AMD website)
And no i'm not

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)

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 23, 2014

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

Brantyn Gerik :

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

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 23, 2014

also please give full list of specs...you did not list cpu or power supply

Brantyn Gerik :

I rechecked the temp it was 65C also my cpu is: Core i5 4670k (3.4Ghz)
and my psu is the corsair rm 550w

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

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 23, 2014

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

Brantyn Gerik :

max was 65 and i'll try a stress test
