Hello,

Lately its happening more and more that when im playing games (mostly with GTA 5 and BF4) that i just freeze and i get the message 'Display drivers have stopped working and have been recovered', then i close the program with task manager. Its actually happening more and more though, now when just start BF4 or something it just crashes straight away.
I just dont know how or what to do.
-------------------------------------------------------
Specs:
- MSI 970A-G43 Motherboard
- AMD FX 8350 CPU
- AMD Radeon R9 270x Gaming 2gb GPU
- 8 Gb of Hyperx Memory
- 2 x Benq DL2215 21,5" screens
- Windows 10 Pro
- Mechanical Keyboard
-------------------------------------------------------
- Graphics Card driver: AMD Catalyst 15.6 and 16.1, i just tried both and both gave me the same problems.

Things ive done:
- Update and delete old drivers
- extending the TDR time from 2 seconds to 8 seconds (that was a solution from Microsoft i found and didnt work).
- Check my temperatures (idle 23*C and while a game is going on (around 51*C).

Can anyone help me solve the problem, i've got teamviewer and i speak english well (In case u want to help me that way).
For the rest please give me your answers! :)

Greetings Marc

Test the video card in another system that can run it. Many times this issue is a bad video card or power supply. You can try to install Windows on a spare hard drive and see if a clean Windows and driver setup works properly.
