Asus R9 290 OC Black Screen HELP!!!!!

[MDR3VO]

About a week ago my r9 290 while in game my monitor turn black after about 10mins of gaming I don't know the problem but I think it might be the graphics card. After this happened I downclock my 290 to stock settings
core clock: 947
memory clock: 1250
and it worked fine after that
here are my specs
Intel core i5 4460
8gb ddr3 ram
ASUS R9 290 OC EDITION
1TB HDD
650W CORSAIR VS650 80+

I want to know which part is faulty or not

Sounds like an Overheating GPU.
You should watch your temps when you're gaming with HWiNFO: http://www.hwinfo.com/download.php
Report back with the temperatures at stock clocks on the GPU.

Temps
60-75C

The temperatures are normal , but it seems you overclocked it too much.If problems does not occur at stock speeds ,then keep it there.

Try to overclock it within reason, google for a benchmark or something on OC your GPU and see their values (and make sure they don't use different cooling than you do) and set your GPU close behind those values and then just downgrade until you stop having black screens.

Also, I don't know how much power your AMD consumes, but from what I heard, people said to stay clear of Corsair as a PSU. I'm using the EVGA 850W G2, I can now overclock my CPU properly and my new GPU also works perfectly.

My normal stock settings where

1000mhz core clock
1260mhz memory clock

Then black screen started to appear

Then
I downclocked to
947mhz
1250MHZ


Sorry for the misunderetanding

Once I downclocked it worked properly

Once I downclocked it worked properly

Can you send it to RMA? If yes then this would be a great idea.

 

[Cioby]

It may be possible that you have a faulty GPU try contacting AMD. And there were people that didn't recommend corsair on your version. You might look into that too

 

[MDR3VO]

What brand psu would you recommend

 

[Cioby]

Evga has 10 year warranty and it's said to be excellent. I have one for a month, everything works fine. But you should first make sure your psu is to blame and ask AMD
