Hello everybody. I have a casual gaming/chilling pc. The specs are as following :
Amd a4 7300
4gb ddr3
Asus R7 260x 1gb ddr5
Gigabyte F2A88XM-DS2
Stock 550W psu
So i recently bought the r7 to change my old gpu. Did a clean reinstall of windows 7 64, updated all drivers from the manufacturer`s sites. The problem is that, randomly, the screen freezes and then black screen, shortly followed by a reboot. Appears to happen when i am in desktop, browsing some internets and whatnot. Other than that the PC works like a charm. Also, on top of that, sometimes, when the PC enter sleep mode, it becomes unresponsive to the wake up "call`, even if the PSU fans are still spinning ( not sure about the CPU fans - will give a look and come with an update if needed ). I must mention that this didn`t happen with my old GPU. I can send back the r7, however i wouldn`t like that, as i bought the card at a supersale and at a very good price. Is there anything i can do about it? Feel free to ask any questions about any additional information. I will try to provide them as accurate as possible. Thank you
