So yeah from my previous post I'm still having this problem even with the latest drivers and its just becoming unusable now the off chance I sometimes get 3-5 hours where it doesn't happen but every time I boot up it can just crash within seconds or minetes it varies I was hoping the drivers would fix this but no luck can anyone shed some light or shall I just rma it!

There's the video of the problem the game isn't relevant as it happens on anything even when I'm just browsing the web I'm even writing this post of my ipad because as soon as I get to posting it guess what happens?

is your PSU good enough for continous power? doesnt it provide enought power fpr your system?

[Altecice]

The fact your whole PC reboots, seems to be as if its not a GPU issue. If it was just a stright bluescreen or a hard lock/crash then i would agree.

I thought that so I upgraded my 500w to 750 corsair cx surely that would be enough power right..

well I agree with you but the first thing I upgraded was my gpu then upgraded everything else around it so it only could be the gpu unless its a motherboard issue but would a issue with the mobo cause this kind of problem but then I keep getting display driver error messages too frequently my display will go off then back on then show a prompt saying display drivers not responding

yea thats plenty of power. my cx600m is working is fine.

its not your GPU something else in your system is unreliable. could be even a virus or malware.

use malwarebytes and ccleaner to clean your system

try using the onboard gpu

try using the onboard gpu

that's a good idea actually I will try that first (oh wait I don't have one oops)

[FlakeyBanana]

When it reboots does windows say anything eg.. That it's recovered from a serious error?

[atrash]

try using the onboard gpu 

 

He's using 8350. no igpu.

oh i thought all amd cpus had igpu but ok in that case try using a diferent gpu like a old one or one from a friend

It used to when I was running windows 7 not all the time but now it just normally. But sometimes if It dies during boot up I get a message

I really don't have one the only thing I can think of is an ancient one in my dads old pc but like we're talking a really old video card

iv disconnected my hard drive and just using my ssd and its been fine fps has improved hasn't crashed do you think it could be something on my old hdd that could have caused this (still not going to state it was the problem as it might be a one off it hasn't crashed)

Atleast you didn't need to try the onboard graphics as recommended earlier.

I'm still not sure it's fixed yet. I never had this problem when I had the 6950

[TheReven]

Ok so turned PC off for a few hour now I'm back again with the same problem formatting my hard drive has not fixed this problem

[Bad2049]

Have you tested under Win7?

 

Found this article from another thread and came across something interesting. Left a quote and link.

 

 

A bit of a warning, it seems that AMD still automatically apply the overclock at startup. be careful with that? Push it too far and with the settings pre-applied, there is a possibility that the card would crash during Windows bootup/start. So be sure that you know what you are doing.

Yeah I had the same problem using 7 and oh right that's interesting I doubt it's been automatically overclockes but how would I revert it if it does it by default

[Bad2049]

I personally wouldn't know, but you may want to ask a few of the LTT members who have the 290/290X cards for assistance.

You might have a bad GPU similar thing happened to my old 7870. Maybe look around the AMD forums and see if anyone is having similar issues.
