Black screen of death?
Why I'm getting this BSOD, I don't even see any failure on my graphics card like artifacts and high temp.
This happens when i overclocked my gpu to
Core Voltage: 1200
Powerlimit % @ stock
Core Clock: 1500
Mem Clock: 2000
on Sapphire r9 280x Toxic Edition using MSI Afterburner, or there is a problem on my overclock settings? I don't even see my temperature going to 73-80C with that overclock.

(Sorry for my english)

PC Specs:
PSU: Coolermaster v650W
GPU: Sapphire r9 280x Toxic
CPU: i7 4770 (Non-K) @ Stock
Mobo: Z87-G41 PC MATE
RAM: 8GB Kingston 1600Mhz
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro

Please help me. Thanks.

First of all why is your mem clock 2000?
My GPU is 6000 at stock.
Either your card is weaksauce or you downclocked so hard its killing itself.
Your card's memclock is 6400 stock.


I didn't downclocked it, it's stock core clock is 1150 and mem clock is 1600

I've already overclocked its mem clock to 6400 on this pic

Sometimes a GPU just doesnt want to go that high.
It's not always a matter of temperatures; every chipset has a random limit, and I guess your specific card doesnt go that high


I see. So do you think that my graphics card have damage? Or it is just a problem on my overclock settings? Do i need to put it down a little bit? Any recommendations?
Thx in advance...
