AMD R9 280x Driver Issues

[PeaceWalker93]

Hi there, I recently got an untested XFX R9 280x, and after tinkering around with it a bit I've stumbled upon a problem (Apart from one of the fans not spinning).

The card will output video just fine with the Microsoft basic drivers, but when installing any AMD drivers (I've tried with 3 different releases) It will end up in a black screen or sometimes a reboot.

I also flashed the BIOS to the latest version but It still does the same thing.

Has anyone had similar issues? Thanks!

You can try and flash the GPU firmware.

 

Not sure what model you have but you can look here for the right firmware ;

You'll need the software to flash the firmware ;

If that won't fix it, then the card might just be dead and need some SMDs to be replaced.

Hi, when I meant I had flashed the bios I meant the one on the GPU (not mobo), It's got the latest one from XFX I could find.
