Hi there guys, I built a custom pc with a Sapphire Tri-x R9 290 and after a few months of frustration and desperation, I have nearly quit from getting blue screens way too often. But I have done my research and the last issue that could be causing my pc to be so unstable is that the gpu came overclocked out of the box, does anyone know how to underclock it so then I can make my pc more stable? Thank you, Ismail

Hello guys. I actually have a Sapphire Tri-x R9 290 and I had the same problems as gazrawly. I changed my psu from a 600w EVGA one to a Corsair 750w. This was not needed as I found out later that I had some driver issues so I downgraded from amd's 14.4 drivers to 13.2. Yes you do lose performance in the gpu but at least now I was getting less BSODs and a more stable pc. Now I still get the blue screen if I try to overclock or install windows update or even restart the pc which needs me to use system restores to try to get back to when it was working. I also just realized that I have no earth going to the extension cord for my pc. Does anyone think that this could be a cause for an unstable pc? and only pc cause my mac pro works fine without the earth. Thanks Ismail
