    Will my build support my graphics card?

    As of now I have a amd Radeon r9 290x and tbh its crap. Ever since I got it I get random monitor disconnects and crashes saying your graphics card has stopped responding and has successfully recovered. I bought a new windows 8 and still nothing. Everything is new even the graphics card was new...

    AMD Radeon R9 290x keeps crashing/blackscreaning/bluescreaning/freezing.

    Is there another card out there that has less problems or stability issues than this one and is more reliable but is still a beast? Like the gtx 970? I'm just so fed up with these issues. I'm not always sure how to go about fixing these things so I just try to read forums and articles.

    AMD Radeon R9 290x keeps crashing/blackscreaning/bluescreaning/freezing.

    Sorry i'm really new to the terms, but what is VRAM? I wasn't aware alot of them had issues until I started seeing my same issue on alot of the forums. Seems like these cards gave alot of grief to people. I bought the card almost a year ago. How can I find out if my card has the issue you are...

    AMD Radeon R9 290x keeps crashing/blackscreaning/bluescreaning/freezing.

    I bought the card brand new on Ebay but it came with no warranty from them or the manufacturer since it got sold by a third party. I am downloading afterburner as we speak and maybe I can increase the voltage slightly. Its annoying you pay so much for a great card and cant use it to its full...

    AMD Radeon R9 290x keeps crashing/blackscreaning/bluescreaning/freezing.

    I don't know how to increase the voltage it gets though. I dont know where to do that. 850w should be more than enough and it is a new PSU as well so no defects. And as for the disk that came with the graphics card, I cant seem to find it. What is RMA?

    AMD Radeon R9 290x keeps crashing/blackscreaning/bluescreaning/freezing.

    It was there from day one but I installed some drivers one day and it went away for a good 3 months with amazing fps in games and no crashing. then I decided to update the drivers and it screwed everything up again and I couldnt revert back to old drivers and didn't even know which they were...

    AMD Radeon R9 290x keeps crashing/blackscreaning/bluescreaning/freezing.

    No I doubt anything is conflicting. I've had experts install all sorts of drivers including beta ones and none have worked. My fps in games stink too. I use to get 150+ in some games and now it stays at 30 or less. I don't know what could have happened but I updated my drivers one time and...

    Every time my card crashes I get an error at the bottom that sais display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. I have a i7 4790k Processor, a z97 motherboard with a 850w power supply, and the card listed above. It crashes on certain games like league of legends and occasionaly on...

    Is this a good PC gaming build?

    I was thinking of buying 2 sticks of 8 gigs of ram. Was thinking the corsair vengeance but idk if they will work with my build or not. I think 16 gigs would make the PC perfect then.

    Is this a good PC gaming build?

    I basically bought my own parts and built my own computer but I want to know if it's good or not so please give me opinions and tips on what you think and how to make it better. I have an Intel i7 4790k, a 850 watt power supply, an AMD Radeon R9 290x, but only 8 gigs of ram. I also run windows...

    Should I buy windows 7 or windows 8 for gaming

    I think I'll just wash my hands of them. Now when I buy windows 8 does it come with 8.1 already? And Donyoubgetbst have a website where I can buy it for cheap?
