I used to own a computer with a HD 6990 I had this issue with it so I swapped the card for a 7950, same issue. A friend of mine owned the same card and had the same issue.
Then I got an entirely new computer, new everything, with a R9 290x same issue, so I had that replaced, STILL have the same issue. So I don't know if this is just a 'thing' with AMD, but it certainly seems like it.
Anyway, the card will just crash at random times. Sometimes I get full screen artifacts, sometimes it recovers with a 'Display Adapter has stopped responding and has recovered' message, sometimes it blue-screens, sometimes it just resets.
here's the specs:
GPU: AMD R9 290X
GPU Drivers: 9.14.10.01017, Catalyst 14.3
GPU BIOS: 015.041.000.002
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
16GB RAM.
MotherBoard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
Hard Drives: 120Gb Kingston Hyperx 3K SSD & 1TB 3.5" SATA-III HDD
CD Drive: 24x Dual Layer DVD Writer
Power Supply: CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES MODULAR V2-80 PLUS
CPU cooling: Corsair H80i Hydro Series
Some thing's I've noticed are:
-If it recovers then the GPU usage is permanently stuck at 100%, according to MSI Afterburner, and the next time I do anything that renders graphically the system will outright crash.
-the problem seems to be getting progressively worse.
-if I restart immediately then it will crash again as soon as I do anything that requires graphical rendering.
-If I wait a few seconds before I restart it's 'fine'
-there seems to be no connection to heat.
-sometimes it will crash within seconds of being turned on, sometimes hours.
-playing graphically intensive things such as video-games increases the chances of a crash.
-With all of the four cards and two systems I've experienced this on, it happens from day one, even on a totally fresh install.
Things I've tried:
-Uninstalling the drivers, even using CCleaner to be sure, then re-installing does not help.
-Disabling ULPS and forcing constant voltage does not help.
-Under-clocking / lowering voltages does not help.
-Increasing fan speed, does not help.
-Praying to the PC God, prayer not answered.
Should I just switch to Nividia? Because it seems like this is a consistent issue, since I've tried four different cards with two different systems and had the exact same problem as well has a friend of mine.
In-fact I don't physically know a person that hasn't had this issue with an AMD card.
Can anyone please help me?
