HELP!! Problems with Sapphire Radeon R9 270X DUAL X-BOOST OC 2GB

OldDude123 · Nov 28, 2014

Hi guys,

I have bought new rig about 2 months ago and im encountering very annoying problem ever since.

While i play video my display randomly turn into gray/orange/blue vertical striped but keyboard/sound still available/

I have tried nonvenomous things to head this problem :

1. installed all knows version of AMD relevant drivers
2. used 4 different WIN7 version
3. upgraded my BIOS version to its maxed
4. lowered my base working FREQUENCY to 1MHZ instead of 1.070MHZ
5. Sent the whole rig to company - the claim its working fine
6. Bought new PSU : SeaSonic 600W active PFC
7. i ran fumark3D , prime and video card stress - no errors found

and YET NOTHING HELPED and the games keep getting that stripped display randomly

i got frustrated from the situation ...

Thanks for any input =)

i have had this problem in the past

this happens when the graphic card memory fails due to overload and heat OR low voltage

what are your max temps in furmark 15min run test?

OldDude123 :

i suggest you uninstall amd drivers

clean the driver leftovers with DDU uninstaller

download fresh 14.11.2 drivers from amd site and install them

it will be fixed

OldDude123 · Nov 28, 2014

im currently running on 14.9 is much difference between both ?

blacksheep123 · Nov 28, 2014

OldDude123 :

yes.. a BIG difference..
crashes and performance issues fixed
assassins creed unity and farcry 4 upto 50% performance boost

can you use another powersupply and see if the problem persist?

yup, i tried Antec VP-700P 700W which i borrowed from a friend ... it crashed after 20 mins ..
btw both PSU gives 1.213 VDC under stress to gpu (according to GPU-Z).

its the gpus fault but i dont find anything worng or suspicious.. the best thing you can do is meddle with the drivers

i am out of ideas

OldDude123 · Nov 28, 2014

Could it be the combination of my mobo (H81M-k) with the GPU ?

blacksheep123 · Nov 29, 2014

OldDude123 :

i dont thnk its due to the mobo.. its either due to
high temprature in the pc
or gpu VRAM failure
or system RAM failure
or powersupply drop

run memtest

OldDude123 · Nov 29, 2014

it's sure not SYSTEM RAM issue cuz i got 3 diff RAM sticks and every1 one of tham pass the memTest without errors.

I have checked my PSU with voltmeter... i couldnt see any dropouts...

Are there ways to check Temp sensors ?

blacksheep123 · Nov 29, 2014

OldDude123 :

you can use speedfan.. it can check the whole system temps simultaneously with charts and graphs if needed.. wonderful software
