New GPU crashes

[puttdawgalicious]

Just a few days ago, I installed my new Rx 470. Ever since, my games have been crashing nonstop, with GTA V and Shadow Warrior 2 holding the current record for most crashes. Cooling does not seem to be the problem, as it only crashes the game, and my drivers are up to date, I've quadruple-checked. At this point, I don't know what is causing it. Thanks.

Specs? Try reinstall drivers.

Rx 470, 500w power supply, AMD FX-8300 psu, 12gb of DDR3, besides that I'm really not sure. I bought a crappy overpriced Best-Buy computer about 3 years ago, and am trying to upgrade. That's why some specs are missing.

what PS do you have?

Is anything in the system overclocked? if so maybe reset everything to stock

Nope. Tried oc'ing on the old thing and it made a weird noise that seemed to say "I will commit suicide if you do this longer" and I haven't oc'ed anything here because of the crashes.

The PSU may dying.

I just bought it when I bought the card. I didn't need this many watts with my old card.

uninstall and reinstall drivers as suggested above. then get back to us.

try removing the drivers using DDU, then install the new ones.

Maybe try switching back to your old card? if it crashes again you might have gotten a bad psu

and you can do the same test by switching cards (assuming the old psu has enough watts to run the new card)

Nope, I bought a new psu because I needed the extra watts.

well best bet would be to scrub all the drivers and then reinstall like the others said then get back to us

Drivers completely removed and the latest were instalked, but 3 minutes in GTA V crashed.

what did you use to remove drivers?

you didn't remove any motherboard drivers did you?

can you pull card and run off on board graphics?

I used DDU to uninstall my drivers

[LabRat]

what about the other 2 questions?

[rheyL]

what is the exact model of rx 470?

if latest driver crashes... try using old ones...  if it still crash... then say hi to RMA ?
