Hello guys,
I'm having issues with a crossfire between my old Sapphire HD7770 OC Ghz Edition and my new Sapphire Vapor-X R7 250X GPUs.
I'm experiencing freezing and driver crashes in GPU benchmarks like 3DMark and several games and I want to enable logging for my AMD driver.
How can I enable logging for AMD drivers , so I can check the logs after a crash ?

UPDATE: I found the issue and it wasn't the driver.The reason for those freezes was Windows 8.1 which by default enables on my SSD the "OPAL2.0" mode (without asking at all). In the logs of windows I saw that windows somehow forgets how to access correctly my SSD, and as per the OPAL standard, the SSD freezes the access to it and requires a power cycle (a reboot). I'm now using my 2 GPUs with crossfire mode on a Linux Based Virtual Machine (so called IOMMU).

Its probably a combo of the driver and the slightly disparate cards. I would contact AMD for the hell of it, but even if it did have logging I bet it would be nothing you could fix yourself.

There are no crash logs specifically for AMD drivers. You can use Event Viewer in Windows and SOMETIMES the crash info in there is useful.

You should download MSI Afterburner as it has RivaTuner statistics with data logging. It will log your GPU temperatures and clock speeds for both the GPU processor and memory, and you may see the issue there.

I'm already using MSI afterburner to synchronize the clocks of the Cores and Memory, monitor the Temps and usage of the GPUs, CPU,Motherboard.
All temps are fine, and as I'm using Corsair TX650W - the power usage should be enough (though I'm using an FX8120 with stock settings) .

I'm asking for the logs, as the issue appeared when I crossfired them for first time, but I somehow managed to bypass the issue. Now after a driver upgrade (to fix some issues) this problem reappeared.

Unfortunately there is no sort of logging aside from windows event viewer. I did some research on crossfiring those two cards and found others have had problems doing it because even though it uses the same family chipset, there are some differences.

The strange is the fact that in 3DMark I can run non-stop the Sky Diver GPU test without an issue while the Fire Strike crashes almost immediately (and before this driver I could run it although with very low fps).
I've checked my RAM with Memetest86 and maybe I have to test the gpu's ram with some other tool.

Have you tried rolling back your drivers to older versions

See if its a driver issue.

I'm pretty sure it's a driver issue. With Crimson 16.1 I had the same problem but it self resolved. With 16.4 it crashes even more but when it doesn't - it has 10% better performance than before.
Now I', with v15.12 and no freezes have happened in 3D Mark in both Sky Diver and Fire Striker. I'd like to use 16.4 as it has better performance and it has an crossfire profile for my favorite game .
It's really bad that there is no logging to find out any reason for the crashes.
