Crashing PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 480 8GB

I just yesterday picked up a new PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 480 8GB graphics card, I used DDU to uninstall the previous gpu driver before I installed the new card. After that was done I stuck the new card in, installed the drivers and away I went. (I should note that I'm running Windows 10 Pro in this part of the story) So I loaded up killing floor 2 and cranked everything I could to high and everything was fine and dandy, for about 5 minuets or so then boom, my screens go funny colors then computer shuts down. Tried a couple other games, they all do the same thing. Some less graphically intensive games last longer than others, but in the end they all crash the entire computer. I ran memtest86+, crystaldisk, my ram and hdd are good. At this point, formatted the machine and put Windows 7 Ultimate on, loaded all the drivers, put Bioshock Infinite & killing floor 2 back on. I ran the bioshock benchmark at max, no crash. Figured "ha, windows 10 is just that trash" then proceeded to play killing floor. I got to play it for a good 25-30 min, then boom, crashed. My last thoughts are A) Power supply is insufficient  B) GPU is bad. Problem with A is that I've ran the numbers for the power consumption of my rig, and it well within the acceptable limits of the power supply. Problem with B is that it runs fine doing other things. Not really sure what to do at this point.

 

Setup:

CPU: AMD A10-7850k (I know, stop laughing at me :( )
MOBO: Asus A55BM-E
RAM: 2x 4GB Crucial Technology DDR3-1866
GPU: PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 480 8GB
PSU: EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze

Sounds to me there's a temp issue.

Use gpu-z and check temps.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Dragon or Devil? doesnt matter both are using a crappy component anyway.

Its more likely shutdown from over heating.

From dragon yes but it is worse compared to the reference design.

I'm actually running furmark right now and monitoring with GPU-Z. Its not exceeding 70c temp, or 130 watts at max load. Red Dragon 8gb btw.

So after watching a furry doughnut fly though a pastel wormhole for a half hour, GPU temp caped out at 79c and never exceeded 131.6 watts. Oh and no crash. Gonna play some more killing floor and see what happens.

You should edit out your post and saying red devil. The whole post is saying red dragon

Because if u have watched the video u already knew the answer in the first 5 min of the videos. u know they use the worse Vrms than the reference design so thats why power color advice u not to run furmark if u use the high power bios..

Guys, I ran furmark for 30+ min. Then for the hell of it I ran the BioShock Infinite benchmark. Literally as I went to write this reply it crashed while playing killing floor 2. The gpu didn't exceed 70c and average 60 watt power draw, with odd spikes here and there.

Did u overclock the gpu? are u still using the default Bios?

Yes bad VRM means that the entire Red Devil card is worse than a reference card. Just stop. Your argument makes no sense. They advice not to run Furmark not meaning the card is worse

Check Event Viewer and see what error it gives
