Videocard pls (broke?)

[Aseliot]

So it just started doing this yesterday. 

i've noticed it only does this when playing a youtube video. At first i restarted it, but sleeping also works and then it's fine again. 

 

Thing is it also still crashed on ArmA 3 (but then it's a bluescreen with lines on both screens and i've only experienced it with that particular game), but sometimes I can play for over an hour without anything happening. I played DOOM just fine yesterday for an hour.

 

Should I dial back my OC? (Factory)

Dialling back any OC would be my first step yes. 

 

Also you got the latest drivers installed?

I've gone from 950 Mhz core clock to 900 now and it didn't show up anymore. I still think it's weird that it doesn't crash on anything else though.

Logs? If you could launch in safe mode (if need be) and look at event viewer and is there any fatal error logs from around the time of the crashes?

So i've made some notes of my problems also to clarify for myself what the problem is. Thing is, as you can see it seems pretty fucking random.

Previously crashed with dual screen setup, always the 21:9 screen (HDMI) artefacting.

GSOD 1 - Arma 3 @2560*1080 on HMDI, two screens one DVI one HDMI. coreclock 900, restart worked.
GSOD 2 - Arma 3 @2560*1080 on HDMI, two screens one DVI one HDMI. coreclock 800, restart failed.

7950 doesnt display in PCIe slot 1.
7950 doesnt display in PCIe slot 2.
7950 displays via DVI in PCIe other motherboard.
6450 displays in PCIe slot 1/2 of previous motherboard.

So PCIe slots are fine and not broken, motherboard is OK?

7950 back in PCIe slot 1. Connect via DVI, it worked.
7950 HDMI port doesn't display, displayport (1) doesn't display.
7950 displayport (2) does display. Core clock back to 950.

GSOD 3 - Arma 3 @1920*1080 (Adapter displayport dvi singlelink) on displayport (2). still two screens.
Core clock at 800 mhz.

Switched from using 2560*1080 screen main in windows to using the 1080p screen as a main screen.

NO CRASH - Arma 3 @1920*1080 on DVI. still two screens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST1 - Arma 3 @2560*1080 on HDMI. on a single screen. works fine.
TEST2 - Arma 3 @2560*1080 on HDMI. two screens, other on displayport (2) > DVI. works fine.
TEST3 - three screens: HDMI, displayport > DVI, displayport > HDMI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Played arma 3 fine yesterday, today suddenly gsod again.
GSOD 4 - two screens, displayport > DVI, displayport > HDMI. Arma 3 (800/1100Mhz baseclock)

Tried running arma 3 again, worked fine no gsod and played 2 matches just fine

Also NOTE THAT it only does it on arma 3? I've never had this on Doom (6 hours playtime) or any other game before... it really seems to be an issue with the game itself as far as i can see and as improbable as that sound to me.

 

Also noteworthy is that the thing in first post only happend TWICE and has never happend again...

Where do i find those for AMD i've seen a few threads but nobody seems to answer where the logs are.
