AMD drivers help...

[OriginalGamer]

Jesus christ man, i built my brother a amd build a week ago and ever since then i have been getting nothing but problems from the amd gpu/drivers side. When my brother tries anything gpu intensive the drivers "stop working". The screen starts tearing up then a message appears that the gpu encountered a problem and recovered, but then the screen gets worse until its all black. When this happens i can no longer use the Display running from the gpu as the pc wont boost past the windows logo. i have to go to the bios and choose the pci to go the vga. I try uninstalling the drivers and re installing but that doesnt work as the pc wont boot past the windows logo. So have to choose the ":restart PC" button to erase everything from the SSD to do a fresh instal of windows only will this fix everything only for the problem to re-occur. I have tried to only install the drivers from the disc the gpu came with, i have also tried skipping the gpu driver disk and going straight to the AMD site and installing the latest drivers but still same problem

 

 

WHY AM I HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THIS AMD CARD/DRIVER?

 

I have my own build thats intel/nvidia and i never had any problems with it. Last time i purchase anything amd.

Is this GPU overclocked?

No its it running on stock speeds. GPU is r9 270x by the way.

GPU might be faulty, only way to tell is to test it in another computer. Also, don't write off a brand based on a single experience.

Sorry just a little frustrated as my brother can't play any games at the moment.

Install DirectX from M$ website, and then reinstall driver with DDU. Fixed most of my problems if not all after migrated laptop SSD to desktop.
