Complete new build. 4670k on ASUS Z87-A. Samsung evo 120, 4gb corsair ram. Win7
It does the GPU recover straight from the desktop. If it stays stable enough to get a game to launch it crashes in game too. 2 out of 3 times it does GPU recover 5 or 6 times and then blue screens with atikm.sys or something.
Im using mini display port to an apple cinema (27 inch non thunderbolt). I pulled the card and used the onboard and its fine. I also plugged in a 20 inch monitor via DVI @ 1080 without the apple and it was fine for the 15 minutes i tried it. I didnt try any games. I thought maybe the power supply wasn't strong enough (Ultra 450 watt that came in the case) but i tested with an older OCZ 600 watt that is running 2 8800 Ultras right now(so i know it works) and it still does the same thing.
Did some reading, this card is overclocked a bit, so i dropped the core from 975 to 900. It was stable for about an hour, then went back to crashing again. I had GPUz running, temp on the card never went over 50c.
So the question: RMA or get a different card? Does this thing not like running at 2550(?)x1440 resolution? It crashes a LOT playing 4k videos on youtube.
These new builds are depressing me. I had almost the same problems with a 4770k/sabertooth and gtx780 all brand new that constantly bluescreened just recently.
Edit: I also tried the card in my own system, which is a i7 930 on MSI x58. My card is a gtx580. I swapped in the 7850, ran DVI to my 24 inch at 1080, and it crashed within a minute. with y gtx 580 it hasnt crashed in.... probably months.
edit2: Aaaand i just read this thread: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=743644
I think the guy at the store told me the R9 270 is a rebranded 7850? I dont know what the refresh is on the cinema display. wondering now what will happen if i turn it down. I have tried reinstalling the drivers (latest CCC) but i havent tried older drivers. Guess ill check the refresh and see what happens.
Edit3: Nope its 60hz. I just tried launching world of warcraft (classic original version) with CCC settings at 900 core / 1100 mem and +10% power limit and it instantly freezes. It was crashing yesterday and blue screening while idle and copying music files....
