Hello. I'm building a "new"(with used parts) computer, came across a motherboard + cpu + ram, and already had an r9 270x from Gigabyte lying around. The problem is that I get bluescreens when I play SWTOR (Copied the game over from my main rig, so it's not new installation.) The screen is freezing, getting black, a no signal mediation comes up, then bluescreen with error 0x00000116. Tried to clear drivers with DDU, reinstall newest, and even older from 2017, however, the same happens. However, it takes a different long time, sometimes only after a few minutes, others after 15-20 minutes. Has afterburner installed, tried to close this, first it seemed to work, but then there was the bluescreen again. Really confusing, because it worked without problems with my 750 TI and the 270x have worked in another computer without any problems. However, it should be mentioned that with 270x I have used a different power supply, where I'm not sure about the function. Could that be the problem? Have done a clean install of windows on it, but without results.

I'm most likely gonna try the following: Upgrade the graphics card's bios (Feel a bit scary tho), try drivers from the Gigabyte website, test another PSU, try another game, and reinstall Swtor.

Feeling really lost, would really need some advice!

Thank you!

Have you updated to the proper drivers? error 0x00000116 is listed as possibly caused by driver malfunction. 

- My Specs -
CPU: AMD FX8350 Black Edition

GPU: Nvidia/EVGA 1050ti
Ram: 8gb Patriot (2x4 1600mhz)
Keyboard: Corsair Strafe Red w/ Blues
Mouse: Logitech G700s

Yep, I've tried several versions using DDU to clear the old ones. I even went back to drivers from 2017, but with no luck...

If I could recommend anything before you try flashing the bios, try things that may sound simple like remounting the card, making sure that it's seated properly, and ensuring that you have enough power output from your PSU to properly feed the card under load.

Yeah, I don't want to flash the bios if there is another way to solve it, espeially since the card has been running fine for a few months in another system. Right now the whole system is sitting on a cardboard box, but if i remember correctly having it mounted in a case didnt change anything. Im gonna try again tho. It could be the psu, i havent really used it very much since i got it, dunno what the previous owner used it for. Running memtest86 right now, since that was suggested when i googled this. No errors yet.
