So i've had dual r9 290's for almost a week now and have had consistent messages almost every half hour about how the amd driver stopped working and successfully recovered, and literally on que everytime after i turn on my computer just browsing the internet it will just completely crash and i willl have a scrambled screen for 2 minutes and then the system reboots....

Is this just an AMD issue....? should I install a previous driver version?? It's getting quite ridiculous for the cost of the cards, such poor stability. I've literally never had the drivers stop working whilst i was playing gpu intensive games, but when im browsing the web it happens so often.

This is all quite new to me so if you have any advice on how to resolve these driver issues I would be pretty thankful. At the moment I am very unimpressed with these cards and completely regret buying them, should have gotten 780ti sli.
