R9 270X No GPU Usage While Folding

[rivereagles999]

I recently got into folding about 3 days ago, and I've had non-stop problems with my R9 270X. It always has 8+ days left on it's work load, and that doesn't change even while letting it run over night. My CPU is folding perfectly fine, and has already finished quite a few work loads. I've been using MSI Afterburner to check it's usage, and it's never gone above 4% GPU usage. At first, I was trying to use the 270X as a card just for folding while I used my 780 to do everything else I do on my computer, but nothing could seem to get the 270X to want to fold.  (Note: I have all the latest drivers for it, (Version 9.14.10.01128), so that can't be an issue, can it?)

 

To test if the card actually was working, I lunched bitminter to let it mine for a bit to see if that got it's GPU usage up, and I did. right after I clicked start, the usage Shot up to 100% After this, I decided to just take the 780 out to see if that was the issue. Nope... With just the 270X in, it still wont fold. Deciding to finally give up, I'm asking you guys. Does the 270X have an issue with folding? Do I need a certan driver version? Or is there some settings I need to change to get this card to co-operate? Anything helps. Thanks In advance

Update: After about 10 minutes of the GPU attempting to fold, the slot fails.
