Swap Graphics Card?

[Deathikilled121]

I have been getting a lot of errors lately for my "driver" and have just read online that it is my graphics driver "Error 0xa000001" that is the problem and I should upgrade it or check for anything wrong with the wire from the power supply. I was thinking of replacing the graphics driver for a while mainly because of how slow it is and because of the errors but if anyone knows what this error is, should I keep trying to fix it (r7 260x) or just get a better one (r9 280x)?

 

EDIT: Also "Driver has stopped responding and has recovered."

Just wanting to know if r7 260x is worth the hastle or if I buy a new graphics card and the error was for my Hard "Drive" instead.

I assume your system doesn't have onboard

 

Run memtest, if that clears create a new partition on your current HDD with a fresh and completely stock windows install (i.e. nothing installed except VGA driver) and test it out there. If you still experience failure then try to borrow a GPU from someone and test that.

 

If you can't do that then buy one.

I'd also uninstall your video drivers completely and do a fresh install of them and see if this helps.
