I own a r9 290x Asus directcu ii gpu. This problem only appears on Counter Strike games were right at the end of loading into a game it freezes when i set my msaa above 4x (tested on counter strike source and counter strike global offensive) I have tested all other graphics settings and my game only freezes when i set msaa above 4x. I should also note that the AMD Crimson edition driver "crashes" when ever the game freezes.
I had this problem on windows 8.1 with AMD Crimson Edition 15.12 Drivers and just today did a fresh install of windows 10 with the Crimson Edition 16.1 Hotfix Drivers and the problem persists. I am using a 1366x768 tv as my main and only display if that mean anything.

That's strange. I haven't seen that listed as a known issue under the current drivers. Let's try this first.

Download ddu and select amd. Select clean and shut down. Then take the gpu out of the pci slot and check for dust, reseat the card firmly, make sure all the wires are secured, etc. Then boot, go to amd's website and download a fresh set of the latest drivers and install.
