Artifacting, crashing and blue screens in that situation all point to the card being on it's way out, (how long have you had it for, have you ever overclocked it, how many hours a day is it in use) but potentially the problem could be the PSU, 550W can be fine from a good manufacturer but I've...

It's possible you maybe put too much or not enough thermal paste on, did you apply it in a neat, thin coat that didn't spill over the edges? If you did, have you checked whether there is anything obstructing a case fan or one of the GPU fans if it has two. Otherwise, it may simply be that...

Sorry I took so long to pick the solution, life is distracting etc, yeah I took the board to a repair shop and apparently the OC that detonated my CPU also fried this GPU on every layer :/

My new z97 extreme6 refuses to power on when one of my R290s is installed, but works fine with a different R290. When trying to power on, the PSU (LEPA G1600W) makes a clicking noise as though it is detecting a short. I have tried both GPUs in both PCI slots, the other GPU works in both. Both...

So that won't put my PC at more risk? I'll come back with an update once I have tried to reinstall. I'm looking at a LEPA G1600W to replace the RMA'd PSU, that's overkill for my power draw right? I really don't want to risk more problems so I would rather overspend than underspend when it comes...

System Specs: i5 2500k @4.3GHz OC EVGA Gold 1000W PSU 16 GB Kingston HyperX (2x8 GB) 2x Radeon R290 CrossfireX Asus Sabertooth P67 About 2 weeks ago I overclocked my CPU to 4.3GHz, it had been running fine up to this point, in GTA V and other high performance games. While playing GTA V...

Yeah, and I may have actually done that twice, I decided to google an odd reading I've had in my bios for years (3.3v always reads about 2.9v) and apparently this might be a power supply issue or it might just be an iffy reading. Either way I guess I'll find out when the new heatsink arrives

I may have misdiagnosed my issue, I just ran core temp and within minutes of booting and only running firefox my CPU was at 95 C, looks like this fix will only be the cost of some arctic silver and a new heatsink after all

Cheers mate, I'll go with the supernova simply because it specifies crossfire ready

Hi, my PSU has gone on the fritz and I was wondering if I should replace it with the same model or an upgrade. My PC started randomly rebooting under load (mostly games) within a few months of me adding 2 new PCI cards (sound card and network card) so it might not be enough power for my PC, but...

Turns out I just needed to use DDU to reinstall my display drivers. Hours of stress for nothing :( http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html How to mark this as solved?

Titan Quest?

Are you forcing any settings through your display driver? Edge-detect anti-aliasing screws up a lot of games for me. Also try verifying the game cache and/or reinstalling the game

I used Asus GPU Tweak to overclock my R9 290 and after I hit apply the screen went completely blank. I've restarted several times, each time I get as far as logging into my account then the screen goes blank. I can log in fine in safe mode. What I've done so far - tried to uninstall GPU Tweak...
