So I just finished building a new PC. I had a small problem with a loud fan and made a thread about it, but it's been solved. But now I have a new issue. My system keeps crashing and when I check the event log, I see this message:
display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered
There are a lot of these. The PC will freeze, the display will go out, then it will come back, then go out, then come back. I tried the dxdiag program in Windows 8.1, it found no issues. I installed everything off of my mobo disc, and I used the AMD auto detect program and it says I have the most up to date drivers.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202137 - this is my GPU.
Nothing in the system seems off. Everything recognizes the GPU, the fans work, nothing is overheating. The only thing in my device manager is my SM Bus Controller has an error with it. What does this do and could it be causing the problem?
I bought StarCraft 2 for the new PC and when I try to install it, the screen flashes 3 times and I get 3 error messages saying device driver AMD has stopped working but recovered. It's when I am doing general things on the PC like using the web browser and it crashes that it really messes the PC up.
Idk if I should send the card back or try Windows 7.
