Computer black/white screen when I play games.

_jxmes · Mar 30, 2015

I recently upgraded my PC.

I bought a sapphire r9 280 and a 600w cx corsair PSU ( I got told that 600w would be sufficient)
And a amd 6800 CPU which was previously an apu but now I have a GPU.

But whenever I play a game even that be runescape, league of legends, skyrim the computer crashes usually with white screen on both my monitors.

the two areas I thought this could happen because of were: 1. My PCI express slot clipper broke that holds the gpu in place or my windows is not genuine and needs activating.

Help pls!!!

This isn't on windows side, i can tell that from experience
your slot clipper broke, that's complicated, however, did you install the drivers and disabled the AMD APU iGPU? (i hate asking this questions because they're the most obvious yes 90% of the times but one has to make sure)
No crash error or "the drivers stopped working"?
(also google what Daz loader is...just saying...oh and turn off windows updates, a friend of a friend of a friend told me he did)

Ah well I think I did them, and uninstalled the original APU driver in device management. Would you know the best driver for the Sapphire r9 280? I have one installed but it may be the wrong one. Ah thanks for the link

here ya go
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
this is a complicated problem because i can't tell if it's hardware or software
you could go to the BIOS and tell your PC to autodetect the GPU and use that one, beware if you want to disable the iGPU because if the MOBO is the faulty one you'll have to replace it only to even see a display (unless you reset the jumper)
just tell me what the auto detect throws
EDIT also please tell me your MOBO model and RAM
