I bought a Sapphire TRI-X R9 290 yesterday. Wanted to benchmark , so i fired up GPU CAP Wiever . Even before i start the tests, while changing the tabs on GPU CAP , i got a BSOD . error message indicates that it is the Graphics card.
Restarted, ran Heaven Benchmark for 2 hours straight , no problem. GPU temperature is fine.
Using it for a day, and no other problem so far.
But as far as i know, BSOD in Windows 8 is very very rare, and mostly indicates a hardware problem.
Should i be worried? What extra tests shall i run?

I used the computer for two more days, browsing the internet, streaming video, watching movies. No problem . Played Bioshock infinite for an hour. Again no problem.
it seems it was an GPU-CAPS problem. Still , an application can cause a BSOD is weird.
I tought BSOD days are long gone , unless you have an faulty hardware. With my old computer , -I used it for 5 years- and never got a BSOD.

Yes. BSOD information was refering to ATI drivers. Now that i checked, it must be this error "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED".
There is a minidump file , but im not sure , the last minidumb file maybe lost , i had to turn the system off , since it didnt restarted by itself .
This is the application im talking about.

Well, this scenario in my opinion was just caused by the software, if you ran the heaven benchmark tool for 2 hours then that suggests the gpu is fine but is affected in a bad way by GPU CAP, I wouldnt use that site again until your SURE that the gpu is not faulty, do you have the BSOD information by chance ?
