Okay, so my system has been giving me a lot of trouble lately. Here's my system:
ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Pro
AMD FX8350
16GB RAM
R9 290 in crossfire (and a few others lying around)
Corsair AX1200i PSU
1. I use Windows 8.1, no overclocking.
2. I've tested my harddrives, RAM, PSU, which are all fine.
3. When I use my graphics card (I've tested four different ATI cards) without any drivers i.e. after uninstalling all catalyst software, cleaning with CCleaner, disconnecting from the internet so that windows cannot install new drivers, I have no problems. The moment I install ATI drivers (13.xx), on one card, two cards, crossfire enabled or disabled, my screens go blank after 3-15 minutes and shortly after that my system hangs.
4. I've tried various things posted by other members for problems related to mine, but with no success.
5. I've updated my bios, done a clean install of windows, check that everything is seated properly on the motherboard, checked that nothing is overheating.
Is there something that I'm missing? I hope I've posted enough information for you to work with, if not, let me know. By all accounts, my system should be quite amazing. At the moment though I feel like tossing the whole load down a cliff.
