Just got a sapphire vapor x tri x r9 290 4GB and am having stability issues. Bsod Randomly In game. I have also gotten "vidio driver failed and has recovered" Sometimes I play and it's VERY glorious. Some times it's crash and burn hard. Hx1000w corsair psu, asus m4a785tdv-evo mobo, amd phenom II 945, 4GB corsair dominator ddr3 1800. Help.

I believe it was 14.4 everything is stock clock speed. I was granted rma by newegg and it's on its way back now. I reinstalled my old hd5770 for the time being. I am debating getting a different mobo with a more recent bios?! Would a asus sabertooth 990fx work with the 290? Thank you for your time.

i finally had a chance to game on the reinstalled 5770 and am experiencing degraded performance from what im used to out of my 5770. CoH2 is unplayable at 12 fps. ive got 300+ hrs in this game lol it never ran like that. after i uninstalled the r9 i formated and aclean install of win 7 and grafix drivers was put on. everything appears normal, the ram and hard drive is recognized by win. the 5770 installed no problem. the only game i have installed is coh2. it runs stable but in game my framerate nosedives when i leave the menu and my load time is really bad. im really not quite sure where to look as everything appears to be in working order...my guess brings me back to my mobo. if the pcie slot somehow was damaged would the 5770 work at all? or if the ram was bad would it work?

I appreciate the help.
