hi i have a msi r9 390x with 8gb vram and a msi z170 gaming m5 mother board with a i7 6700k cpu, 750watt power supply.

ive tryed running the system with all the latest amd drivers and updates.

reason for asking is i have tried running anything form left for dead 2 to the division and i keep getting consent studder and huge frame drops to a consent 5fps all the way to the game just wont load and sits on a black screen forcing you to manually restart the computer (freezes everything)

also to note i have tested the 390x with a amd cpu and motherboard and it ran 100% fine vise versa with the intel msi z170 gaming m5 motherboad with the 6700k in it and a invidia card they work fine

is it me or am i going nuts or am i really missing something big here? if anyone can help please let me know
 
Hi, If newer BIOS version available, I'd try updating it (take into account though that the process might render the board unusable).
For example, BIOS 1.5:
- Updated BIOS code. - Updated GOP driver and VBIOS. - Enhanced PXE function. - Improved VGA compatibility. - Improved memory compatibility
