display drivers mysterious crashing

[rattyrich]

okay so ive been having a strange problem with the rig ive put together, basically my display drivers keep crashing and then recovering. when it actually happens the sound usually starts to "buzz" that kind of pulses with the sounds for example as some one speaks the buzz rises and falls with their speech pattern (its hard to describe but basically it sounds like its all being played through like a speaker from 1960, think one small step for man kind of thing) and then the buzzing either stops on its own or my screen will completely cut out (full black screen) and then come back with the msg "your display driver have stopped working and have now recovered" or I lose video and audio signal completely and need to restart. when the screen cuts out it does it cleanly with no artefacts on screen but when it recovers any video I was watching at the time/game playing stops responding and has to restart (for example if im listening to you tube while playing a game and it cuts out the game will usually stop responding but youtube will be fine but if im just on youtube the whole browser goes down but everything else will be fine)

 

1. okay so here are the things ive tried so far:

 

2. tested both sticks of ram in both slots together and individually (no change)

 

3. uninstalled all drivers and then manually reinstalled them all (still no change)

 

4. uninstalled and reinstalled windows 10 and then reinstalled all drivers (......... no change )

 

5. completely disassembled and then reassembled the entire rig (2 hours later....... no change but at least had fun)

 

6. took it into a shop who tested the graphics card and motherboard in isolation (cos I didn't have enough spare parts) and he said all the hardware seemed fine on its own so still no answers

 

so here is what is in my rig:-

 

AMD Athlon X4 860K

Club 3D radeon r9 380

16gb dual channel 1866 RAM

ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+

Cooler Master Nepton 240M

600w Edison power supply

 

and it runs on windows 10

 

so ive had a lot of help from the community on here before and I really appreciate how friendly and helpful every one is and I'd really appreciate any ideas any one might have on how to fix this problem

 

thanks in advance
