I recently got a r9 280x sapphire dual-x on ebay. I have a FX-8370,xfx 550w bronze 80+ PSu, 970A-D3 rev 3 mobo, 16 gb (8x2)ram corsair vengeance. I have the latest bios and drivers, but when I go to play a game like skyrim or do a burn in test on kombuster I get either get "display drivers have stopped and successfully recovered" or get was blocked from accessing I think the hardware.

I bought the video card from a litecoin miner, could there be some settings in the video card where its is optimized for mining but not gaming?

If you had an Nvidia card in before that one, you need to go to control panel; trouble shooting and click on the hard ware and sound, and the system ,until windows notices you have switched card vendor brand.
There are some settings windows uses that can remain unchanged from a driver change.

I would try it anyway, they have different bus bandwidths. The worst that can happen is windows will say it did not find any problems.

Did you try what I said? If you did, you may need to erase all drivers, run driver sweeper, and re install drivers. Other than that I have nothing. Device removed sounds like it is looking for the old card.
You might want to re install those games, too,they set themselves up according to your system when you install them. If you are REALLY STUCK ON THIS, i suggest a total re install of everything. That way you will know its the card and not your system. It really sounds like a software problem to me.
But try the driver sweep and game re install first.

Used that Display driver uninstaller in safe mode and reinstalled the drivers. It worked. A few games, skyrim and war thunder gave me the application blocked from accessing graphics hardware error. I uninstalled Skyrim via steam and got a refresh download instead of installing from a backup. After the fresh install skyrim works on ultra high. I have not reinstalled war thunder yet.
