Setup:
Windows 10 64-bit
MSI H81M-P33
Intel Core I3-4170 3.7ghz
2x8Gb 1600mhz hyperxfury ram
600W EVGA Power supply
MSI R9 380 4Gb Gaming

My display drivers keep crashing on my r9 380 card only while i'm playing ACS, but not with any other games. What's wrong and how do I fix it?
 
Solution
Yep. Your overclock is stable except in AC. Which means it's not stable.

What we think of as "more intensive" doesn't mean squat. Each game uses the GPU circuitry differently. If the particular circuitry that a game uses isn't stable, then it will crash.

I've had that several times, including the new system I built last week. This time it was MechWarrior Online. Other games and many hours of GPU stress tests went fine, but within minutes of firing up MWO the GPU driver would crash. Had to back the overclock down by 45MHz before I could play without crashing.

Core clock is +220, memory is +190 voltage is +75 and power limit is +15% It's never had a problem with more intensive games like witcher 3 or gta v, or newer games like fallout 4
 


Doesn't mean the overclock is necessarily stable for all games. Have you tried playing it without overclocking it?
