Computer Issues

I recently bought a R9 280x for my main rig and I kept on getting this pop up saying that the AMD display drivers are not working and has recovered. That is great and all but it freezes my gaming then shuts them down. Now my computer has started to hard freeze. I have done S.M.A.R.T and Memtest to make sure nothing was failing but every thing was okay. I am starting to wonder if my Motherboard is the problem. I have also Done a fresh install of Windows still no luck, so is my board or the drivers?

That happens to me when i push my overclock more than my card can handle.

Are you overclocking?

Are you overclocking?  If so, you need to tone it down.  If not, and this is happening out of the box, then the card might be factory overclocked too high.  I purchased an MSI GTX 770 Lightning a few months ago, and I was getting display driver crashes often and I hadn't overclocked the card at all.  Turns out it was factory overclocked too high and thus unstable.  Return it asap if that is the case.

If you haven't overclocked at all, and the card is crashing, it might be factory overclocked too high.  Return the card ASAP, hopefully its still within the 30 days.
