Hey all,
Before I get told to search, I did. None of the "Black screen R9 290x" have the same symptoms as I do, also I tried some of their fixes and some worked briefly.
After I bought and installed my 290x I started receiving a black screen. Sometimes I would have sound and be able to speak to peeps over TS, others I wouldn't at all. At first I thought it was my 290x. Returned to manufacturer and got a new one, still having the same issues. Buddy told me that my mobo was probably going up. I got a new one and now I have the problems a little more frequently, every 1-2hrs doesn't matter what I'm doing on the PC. After some consultation some buddies suggested the PSU is not sustaining power well. I believe I have a bum PSU or it's garbage>> Sparkle Power 1200w 80 Gold Plus, It was cheaper bleh. Before I order a new one, I was wondering what the consensus was with some of the pro's out there.
Rig:
AMD FX-8120 NOT OC'D
ASUS M5A99X mobo
Gskill Ripjaws 8gb
Gigabyte R9 290x Slightly OC'd
Sparkle 1200w 80GP
NZXT Phantom case
NZXT Kraken x61
