hello ,
I'm using the R9 280 x graphic card for about 5 months now and everything
was working fine. i was using 14.4 drivers
yesterday suddenly the screen went black after the windows boot screen .i restarted a few times
and still the same. so i reinstalled windows 8.1 completely. and it was all normal again.
but then i downloaded the latest drivers from ati and while installing when the screen fickers then system reboots and then it wont go past the bootscreen again.so went into safe mode and uninstalled the driver then the system boots properly. i'm so pissed that such an expensive card does problems like this.
:/
any solutions devs..? please help me..!
 
Solution
may not be the card. with no drivers the card is running is a weak vga mode. with the drivers installed it may be pulling power that a weak or dieing power supply cant handel. put the gpu in another pc and a test card in yours see if the error follows the card or the pc.
