RX580 crash

[Daan._official]

So I bought a sapphire rx580 nitro + about a month ago. Installed it and everything worked fine except that when booted into windows, the fans weren't spinning at all. 

 

I installed msi afterburner and just put the fan control on manual 60% and that seemed to work. 

 

I'm into overclocking and since msi afterburner is pretty much a safe overclocker, I used it to boost the rx580 to 1500 mhz core speed with 9gbit memory speed. Read that most cards should be able to get that and mine did too. Played some warzone and seemed to be stable. No high temperatures or anything out of the ordinary. 

 

Now yesterday I was starting warzone when suddenly the screen turned light brown and crashed. I restarted it and it booted into windows but it kept crashing.

 

I tried to turn off the afterburner overclock, but that also crashed it. Booted up into bios and that works just fine. Sometimes when I boot it works for some time (like 3 minutes) but it keeps crashing into either black screen, light blue screen, yellow or I can see screen with all these colors on it. 

 

I unplugged the pc to do a hard reset but crash keeps happening. 

 

Any suggestions?

My setup is:

I5 4670k oc @ 4,7 Ghz

16 GB ddr3 @ 1833 mhz

Z97 mpower max ac

1 tb ssd + 2x1 tb hdd

530 watt thermaltake which I know is barely enough to supply the power but so far it seemed to work fine

This is a red flag 

But before addressing the PSU 

Did you try ddu ?

So I tried to download the latest drivers and it crashed the first time, but the second time they installed and it seems to be working right now. I'll reply again if it crashes.

Good luck

If it didn't work you can always try ddu ( display driver uninstaller)

Check if the bios on that is the correct one

If you mean firmware 

What ? 

Ofc it will have it's correct chipset firmware

OK get gpuz and make sure the information is the correct one for that card if all ok got to steps

 

1 - DDU

2 - get most up to date drivers

3 - If it still crashes lower the clocks a bit

4 - return the card
