Crashes caused by the graphic card

[Sarim Tasid]

I use to have an ATI Radeon 4550 HD until it died probably due to being 5 years old, so I had to buy a new one.

I bought Gigabyte Radeon 7750 HD. It had better specs than this card, and the games that ran where running more smoother. However, soon I realized that it tends to crash frequently, especially while playing games like Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2. I never had these crashes on my old Graphic card.

Okay so how the crash occurs is the whole screen freezes, then it goes black, while the monitor displaying "No signal detected", then it turns back on with a message "Display driver AMD has stopped responding and has sucessfully recovered"

Few things I tried: Clean install, driver update and a new PSU. Nothing works. Last night I ran memtest86 and this morning it says all tests are passed and no error is found.

Here are my specs

Are you running google chrome in the background ? Google chrome has been crashing amd video cards for a while now and there is still no fix, the only fix is to not have google chrome up while you play games

I almost thought it will work, but after an hour, same crash

Sometimes background apps can also cause the drivers to fail, just do a msconfig to see what start up programs you have. I think what I had to do was Uninstall the driver and re install with the latest driver download from their website, when I had a 7850 from sapphire. another solution that might work is try to not use full screen in game. But the good news is that it's not a faulty video card just a simple bug from amd drivers. You might also want to consider the beta drivers. if you could screenshot your event log and pm it to me that would help too.
