[SOLVED] AMD Display Driver stopped responding and crashed

[guymarshall]

I have just built a new PC with my leftover money, and it was fine for about 1 week, but then the AMD Display Driver keeps crashing, making games unplayable for more than 5 minutes.

CPU: AMD FX 8350 @ 4.3 GHz
Graphics Card: Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X Tri-X
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming ATX Motherboard

I have tried updating my graphics driver, rolling it back, and looking online for solutions but it has got me nowhere.

How looks GPU temps ?

and about cleaning drivers :

Use this http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html
And follow instruction :
Use the official uninstaller(s) of the driver(s) you want to uninstall.
Reboot your PC in Safe Mode.
Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean.
Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected.
Install fresh drivers.

The temps are around 25 to 30 degrees centigrade at idle. I have fully deleted and reinstalled drivers for the graphics card and it does nothing. I will try driver sweeper in a few minutes

You can also try under clock/voltage GPU.
GPU is new or used ? can be faulty.

I have changed the voltage to lower and increase it and the errors happened more often. The GPU is only 4 days old.

decrease GPU Mhz about 10-25%, if this not help decrease also Voltage about 5-10%, if this helps, your GPU is faulty and need be RMA.

I have just tried reducing the clock speed, voltage, and also underclocked my cpu and it still doesn't work.

Check GPU on another PC
If problems still occur return GPU to shop.
