Amd driver stopped responding and has been recovered brand new R7 260x

[derder1167]

It happened since I installed the new graphics card in my computer. When I play games like World of Tanks or Skyrim, the screen freeze then stutters a little, and I'm forced to ctrl+alt+delete my way out of the game. I've tested my graphics card in benchmarks like "the flying doughnut" or fire strike. Nothing. My graphics card run them like a charm. I've reinstalled my drivers which where already up to date, it did not help. Here is my build.

Download DDU and install it.

Double check that the correct and latest video card drivers have been downloaded. Download latest video card drivers appropriate for the video card and operating system if necessary.

Uninstall existing video drivers.

Boot into Safe Mode.

Run DDU and remove all AMD/ATI drivers.

Boot back into Normal Mode.

Install latest video drivers.

Reboot as required.

Done!

Thanks for the answer, I'm doing this right now!

Nope, it did not solve the problem.

•System power supply requirement: 450W

Almost works like it should.

So I have to buy a new PSU? -_-

 

[derder1167]

Its kinda strange because, as I said before, I can run benchmarks on it with no problems at all.

Good point about the power requirement. However, according to this, actual power taken should be around 300 Watts. Usually a quality PSU rated at around 450 Watts would be recommended in this case.

The Thermaltake Smart 430 W PSU is an average grade unit, not the worst but not the best either. However, this unit should be able to supply 300 W fine, unless there is something wrong with it.

Make sure the video card and memory are seated PROPERLY. Try running the system again.

If the system issues remain, it is suggested that the R7-260X video card be removed and tested in another computer.

The PSU could also be tested in another computer, and/or another known working PSU be tried as a test.

Update, a while ago, I've reinstalled windows 10. It worked, until i installed the major update. Now it does the same thing again.

Seems like a software/driver conflict. Apparently a lot of users are having issues with Windows 10, probably due to software incompatibility.

Appears to be a few solutions.

1) Reinstall Windows 10 and this time don't install the update.

2) Install (or go back to) earlier version of Windows (8.1, 8, or 7).

3) Try to find updated drivers/software that definitely supports Windows 10 and all its updates.

It's probably your PSU I'm going to say 430W is not enough. Actual power output is probably closer to 344 watts. You're playing a risky game!
