display driver crashing and constant artifacting.

kickflipperau · Jan 25, 2015

I have a gigabyte r9 290, problem started a few days ago while starting a new game.

I have tried clean uninstalling drivers and reinstalling, clean windows install problem came back after installing drivers, tried older drivers same issue..

I tried my old hd 7770 and it worked fine, and I also tried integrated graphics and works fine also.

I can play youtube videos full screen with no issues

also have been getting bsod referencing atikmdag.sys and memory management, I ran memtest and it found no problems.

Run Checkdisk with Repair and a Virus Scan.

Remove Catalyst Control Center.

Do a clean graphics driver installation.

checkdisk found no problems, no viruses found, removed ccc ran ddu to clean drivers and reinstalled same issue.
thanks but still having the same problem

Post your complete and detailed build.

Ever had nVidia GPU in it?

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar.

Anything overclocked? Any high temps?

kickflipperau · Jan 25, 2015

Never had nVidia GPU, nothing overclocked, temps seem fine
Playing a video in the background makes it useable.

My Specs are:

MB: Asrock B85M-ITX
CPU: Intel i5 4440
RAM: 2x4gb gskill 1600mhz
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce R9 290
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
PSU: Thermaltake SMART 650w

HWInfo Results:

Your 12v reading - 11.669v is too low. Check in Bios. If the same then replace the power supply.

8gb ram

CPU seems to be running OK. Same with your graphics card.

Also try - http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=363233

and download and run memtest on your ram.

kickflipperau · Jan 26, 2015

In bios I'm getting 11.827v, I've ran memtest and it passed.

Also I've tried http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=363233
but then my display is recognized as intel display driver and games won't launch.
So I reinstall amd drivers and the problem returns.

Is it possible to boost voltage through an overclocking program?

i7Baby · Jan 26, 2015

No. Get a better PSU eg http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Seasonic 650, XFX 650

kickflipperau · Jan 26, 2015

so is 11.8v still too low?

and Thanks for your help I appreciate it

i7Baby · Jan 26, 2015

Its marginal at best.

Your PSU is in tier 4 of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

kickflipperau · Jan 28, 2015

ok, so I bought a new psu today everything seemed fine, ran furmark for a few minutes and the lines accross the screen are back.
I checked hwmoniter and bios and I'm getting just over 12V on 12V rail.

Trya different monitor cable.

Try a different graphics card in your PC. Try your graphics card in a different PC

Try a different monitor.

kickflipperau · Jan 29, 2015

Tried my TV through hdmi and blue screened after running furmark, I usually use dvi on my monitor.

The only other pc i have in the house only has a 400w power supply.

kickflipperau · Jan 31, 2015

so, should I just rma graphics card?

kickflipperau · Feb 1, 2015

Alright thanks for all your help anyway, I've taken the card back to the retailer and they replicated the problem so now I just have to wait for gigabyte to give me a replacement.
