Hi guys! My graphic card is new and Im havin next issue. If I'm playing game or watching videos on youtube my graphic card stop working and I get an error that say: Display driver has stopped working and has recovered succesfuly. Only way I can remove this error to happen is if I open Afterburner and set Clock Core and Memory Core lower. I already reinstalled drivers and same thing happens. One more thing, Afterburner is not working with new AMD drivers so I have to use Catalyst 14.12. Can someone help please?!

MSI AB is working for me, with Win 10 and the latest 15.7.1 CCC. Most likely you have a faulty gpu, and should try to get an RMA.

(currently on R9 380 CrossFireX and Win 10, but had an R9 290x Lightning build until a few days ago)

The magic of an RMA will fix it.

try changing the card bios ( small switch on the back of the card, flip the switch when the pc is off )

that raises voltage and should make it more stable

I'm running a 290 with the latest Catalyst (15.7.1) in windows 10 and MSI AB works perfectly. 

 

Make sure your windows is up to date and that you're also running the latest version of MSI AB. 

 

Can you please list your full system specs, including PSU model and wattage? Thanks.

No it doesn't. On the 290's, both BIOS's are the same.

Did you try completely cleaning drivers from your PC?

 

Use Display Driver Uninstaller from Guru3D the install fresh drivers.

 

If not, RMA.

Yea, I used that tool and deleted all drivers in safe mode then installed new one and nothing...

Yes it does

On the MSI cards, one bios runs with +13mv ( according to afterburner, if you unlock voltage control it will show you that one bios is overvolted )

That's news to me. Learn something new everyday. ;) 

 

+13mV isn't much, but I guess it allows that little extra if you trying to push your OC as high as possible (would allow +113mV instead of the typical +100mV limit). That being said, the card shouldn't need +13mV to run at stock clocks.

 

My initial inclination is to point the finger at the power supply. I had a 290 die on me before and it was my PSU that killed it. These symptoms are the same as what the OP is experiencing.

That is a rather cheap, low-end powersupply. Do you have a spare PSU you could try out (at least 650w 80+ bronze)?

get a better PSU,

really with those specs you should be looking at a good 500w

 

Windows can mess wit the low power state of the gpu / cpu, and some older / lower quality psu's don't like those changes

500w is not enough for a 290. I would say 650w minimum. 500w may work, but it won't last and it's not ideal. I'm not saying to go overkill with a 1000w or anything like that, but I am saying; don't cheap out on quality and don't skimp out on the wattage. ;)

With a locked cpu it's fine,

even if the gpu took 300w-350w, the cpu ~100w, you would still have 50w head room.

 

Now, yes a 600w would be ideal, but a 500w is fine with a limited budget ( just don't go for a massive OC )

It's not enough. 50w headroom is nothing. Running a PSU that close to it's limits will significantly shorten it's life span. Plus if you OC a 290, that 50w headroom easily goes out the window. What if the OP wants to install an AIO cooler? A few more case fans? A couple extra HDD's or peripherals? It's not enough. 

 

I don't understand this mentality of getting a PSU that's "just barely enough". Save yourself the headache, spend a little more now to get a good quality PSU with ample headroom that will last much longer.
