Do I need to change Graphics Card? Problem after installing Crimson

[XenoCideXZ]

After I install Crimson, my display starts flickering when I used Autocad & Photoshop. After 3 days black pixel (size: 8x8 pixel) appear

If I run is safe mode or uninstall crimson and drivers. there's no black pixel.

Do I need to buy new graphics or this is just a driver issue. THANKS

For now it sounds like a driver issue. How do you uninstall new drivers? Do you uninstall your older drivers properly? If you didn't, you should try Display Driver Uninstaller here:

After that procedure, then try installing the new driver.

I used the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility. It will uninstall the crimson and drivers. I install the old Catalyst Control Center. after I install it will will the latest driver for my HD 7870, same problem.

Can you retry using DDU like suggested above? It removes a fair bit of registry files that AMD Uninstall Utility doesn't. If that doesn't work, report back. Thanks for listing the specs.

Alternatively, this is the best way to remove your AMD driver:

Seems like a driver problem tho. No offense, but how many generations of catastrophic drivers will it take to make AMD Users switch to nVidia? I always wondered, why you would buy AMD instead. Any insights?

Also check your gpu temperature, and with drivers installed try to downclock gpu speed as low as possible, and see if that helps.

There is no base line in your argument. AMD drivers are not bad at all. Any driver can malfunction, look at Nvidia's last driver release. Full of bugs and crashes.

I use both AMD and Nvidia and to be fair, Nvidia have had driver issues as well.

Ok maybe mainboard problems, or to be more precise pcie slot? Have you tried different pcie slot? If that doesn't help, it might be some other fault with mainboard or your PSU, so at this point I would recommend to try different psu and then mainboard.

My bad I have robcrezz comment and thought it was yours, sorry. What are your gpu temperatures and have you tried to downclock it?

I give up, i think crimson damage the graphic card. I can't fixed it no matter what. I plan to buy new card next week ang i'll pass radeon for now coz of crimson. I need suggestion. i'm low on budget, is gtx 960 is a good option

You might check gtx 950, it is very close in perfomance to gtx 960. Also might wait for pascal, but buget cards probably will appear later. Your cards gpu solder points might be damaged, also video cards ram might be faulty.
