Good day everyone. I am having problem with GPU since I bought it. Its Sapphire R9 380X Nitro OC, 4GB. What happens is that my PC randomly turn to black, sound usually loop in one tone and all I can do is restart. The crashes are very randomly and I can't recreate them at will. Once it crashed after half hour only watching youtube videos. I am trying to fix this problem for about half a year, without any success. Downloaded monitoring programs that didn't showed any signs of overheating.
My current specs
AMD Vishera FX-8350
ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 - AMD 970
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866
Sapphire R9 380X Nitro OC, 4GB
Chieftec GDP-750C
Here is what I did since i bought this GPU
-changed power supply from 500W to 600W and to now 750W
-had it in PC servise store for testing
-changed all my old PC parts for new (except HDD)
-reinstalled drivers multiple times (switched from CD one to the new radeon and back, and yes, I used the AMD driver removal tool, even deleted any AMD/ATI folders on my HDD)
-had it in store where I bought it, which they returned as not faulty
-in the meantime, I had GPU borrowed from my brother, which worked perfectly
-got my own back, 3 weeks without problem and then it begun again
-reinstalled windows
-tried various methods and problem-solvers (having constant fan speed, turning off power saving)
-even tried to be on one internet broswer, because somebody had similar problem and it worked for him
Right now I am on CD drivers, but it helped me for only 3 days to not crash on me. The last one I got happened after 3 hours of PC usage, and I didnt did anything that hard for GPU. Screen turned black, skype was still working and my friend could hear me normally.
I am planning to return to store with this GPU, again. What is kinda bad is that there are about 3 other customers that have same problem with this GPU.
I will greet any possible solution for this. Thanks for reading this and have a good day
