MSI RX 480 8GB Gaming X Crashing PC When Gaming

[h4mmy86]

Howdy, folks!

This graphics card crashes my PC on every game/benchmark to a blue/black/brown/gray/white screen (depending on what's on screen) and glitches the audio to a looping stutter, but my old GTX 770 runs flawlessly. I've tried everything I know to do and nothing corrects the error, although I can sometimes delay it slightly with underclocking or undervolting. The only other thing I can guess is that my PC isn't compatible with this card for some reason. Below are my PC specs, if someone would be kind enough to look over my set-up and let me know if it is compatible or not, I'd be very appreciative. If my pc is compatible and you'd like to offer further assistance in diagnosing the problem I can happily provide GPU-Z or Afterburner log files and I will do my best to provide any additional information upon request.

OS: Windows 10 Pro
PSU: Raidmax RX-730SS
MOBO: ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X 8G
PCI: M-Audio Delta 44
SSD: SanDisk SSD PLUS 2.5" 120GB
HDD: HGST Ultrastar 7K3000 HUA723020ALA640 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA (Plus one old HDD used for junk)

Thanks,
Hammy

raidmax, i would not trust them to run toasters

I was waiting for that. I also tested with a lower watt EVGA PSU. 480w maybe? No luck. Also tried plugging another system's PSU into the card to take stress off of my raidmax, still no luck.

all motherboard drivers/bios up to date?


do you monitor cpu temps?

Driver/BIOS are up to date
CPU temps are well within reason (Sorry, I can't pull the log right now to give you an exact number, but I assure you they are within a stable range)

I had exactly the same problem on a Gigabyte RX 480 8gb Gaming G1 GPU.
I had to upgrade my PSU. Even then, I still undervolt it to be on the safe side.
I got a Corsair RM550x to replace a Thermaltake Toughpower PSU.

Seriously - Upgrade the PSU before the GPU dies. I got a warning with mine from my ASUS mobo about my 'unstable' power supply, which the PC store person then told me was a fault with my motherboard. (it wasn't actually, he just wanted to sell me something more expensive)

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue, but I hope for both our sakes that it is fixed soon.

The Thermaltake was 80+ Gold.
Just avoid Thermaltake power supplies
