Hi all,

 

Just replaced my 650ti with the Asus R9 290 and i am experiencing crashes, restarts and blue screens. I have a Corsair CX750w Psu. I experience a crash mid way through game normally after about 1-3 hours in but in some case has crashed only 15mins in! I have an overclocked FX6300 to 3.7GHz and my motherboard is the Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 (PCI 2.0)

 

Please help, thanks.

I had this problem when I switched from my ASUS 550 TI to my crossfire 290x and I ended up reinstalling windows and haven't had that problem again. Remember to back everything up onto another drive because reinstalling windows will delete everything.

How are you able to overclock your CPU on that crappy motherboard?

 

You never experienced any crashes when you had the old GPU?  I would imagine your VRMs are roasting.

 

Try what Altecice recommended.

I had never experienced any crashes on my old card and i got my PC pre built and it was already overclocked when i got it. The temperatures never exceed about 55'C. Thanks for the help guys i will restore my CPU to stock temperatures and i am currently on 14.12 omega. Is that not a stable driver?
