Try different drivers?

SpyderMatrix · Jun 20, 2014

yes i have gone through three sets the ones on the CD, the newest drivers and the beta drivers and still no go. this didnt start happening until i installed the new video card.

The thread , located here http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=747609 has a little info. There seems to be an ongoing issue with AMD's R series cards.

Update I dropped my max speed for my card's memory to 1500 MHz and so far I haven't had any graphics issues for about 12 hours. Instead I've been crashing it playing with my CPU clock. My fingers are crossed , though. Would be nice if it were that easy.

Crap! I posted in the wrong thread! That's why I couldn't mark it solved! Apologies for the threadjack to the OP. I'll slink out of here now and go fix my own thread. How to feel like an idiot in one easy step.

That card is broken man. If its under warranty, it needs to be returned. Don't accept it less than what it should be.

I think its in thread tools, "Mark as Solved".

He can only do that if he's the original poster.
