Problem with GPU

Soo, i bought used Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X OC, It works fine, that is until you install drivers and restart the PC, After the "Welcome" Screen on Windows 7, the driver constantly crashes and then the PC either bluescreens to (THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE) or just restarts, from what i can see the Usage LEDs go from 1 diode to 8 diodes and then to 1 diode, I have managed to get to desktop by creating new user acc, logged into it and i didnt get BSOD neither crash, but if i launch anything that uses GPU, driver crashes.
CPU : FX-8350 , Mobo : GA-970A-DS3 , PSU : Silentumpc Vero M2 600W (Silentumpc is quite popular brand in here) , RAM : 4x4 GB 1333 MHz.
I tried soo far:

- Reflash the BIOS to original one
- Installed old and new drivers (everytime cleared with DDU)
- Tried 700W PSU

- Ran Ubuntu 19.10 (it boots but after loading shows artifacts on whole screen), Ran Windows 10

- Ran it on PCIe x16 (working as x4)
- Ran 640x480 mode

- Did clean reinstall of Windows 7
- Overclocked and Underclocked it

- Ran Video Memory Stress Test (it didnt actually crash the driver, but Furmark does)

- Repasted it (the chip looks good, and it's certainly an HBM, 2 memory chips on one side and 2 memory chips on the other side  of GPU Chip)

- I tried running the 750Ti, it works perfectly fine

I'm running out of ideas.

well your first issue is that you bought a used GPU. most people sell their GPUs because they have to buy a new one because of a problem caused by the one they replaced and were trying to get their money back so its always better to buy new. secondly what are the temps of the GPU? this could be simply caused because its overheating and shuting down for safety to the card and your computer. anything above 90*C is overheating and you probably need to shut the computer down for several hours to let the GPU air cool and then take it apart to replace the thermal paste on it.

alright then there went a simple idea. that happened to another person on here is why I mentioned it. they repasted and thought it covered everything but it didn't and they were getting temps of the high 80s. but I guess I could have looked a little closer too. where did you buy this card?

well then its more than likely what I said and they were selling it to get some of the money back for the new GPU they had to buy to replace the one you got from them. do you have another computer you can test it out on? I mean a whole other computer not just retrying a different card in this one?

yea I already tested it on different PC and still same stuff, well it's a lesson to opt more for new gpus than used ones.

The problem is not buying used GPUs per-se, but rather, be able to test them or make sure they are working 100% first.

I know this is something hard to do with eBay...

Are you able to return it back to the seller, and get your money back?

 

I bought a used second Sapphire NITRO+ R9-Fury a few years back, to run in Crossfire, and it's been working fine since I got it.

Of course I made the seller (local guy by the way) to show me it is working in his system before buying it.

yes, used from places like Ebay, craigslist, facebook marketplace and etc.. all are more than likely people trying to get some of their money back by selling a bad product. now this is not always the case and there are some good ones out there, you just have to look a little closer and do some research on it before you buy it. also check the sellers history and other items for sale,

 

anyway back to your problem. I did a simple google search on bluescreens to (THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE) and this is what I got. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/blue-screen-with-threadstuckindevicedriver/45cc2a69-a231-474c-941e-da7bdcd2c1cd

Yea seller was like 300 km and the deal was really good, but if the GPU aint working then it's still waste of money.
