GPU still crashing, still dont know what to do!

[DaronMal]

I've been having issues with this for about 2-3 months. My PC will either black screen and return to normal, or freeze and I have to shut it down/restart to fix it.

I've figured out its my GPU driver
I've also noticed it only does it when I pause/start a Youtube video.
"Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
This is the message I get in Event Viewer when it goes black and returns. when it freezes I don't get any sort of error report on Event Viewer, other than it found an unexpected restart.

I've tried uninstalling my drivers, installing them again, then I uninstalled them again and tried the beta drivers, which didnt help either. This card was going fine for a while too, but it's a fairly new system (late 2014 build) and it shouldn't be doing this.

I have Asus graphics card and it has many issues. Not exactly the same. Did you try to uninstall Catalyst? Are you using IE? I use IE and it has issues with Flash player. Hopefully it will be addressed with Windows 10. My videos turn green, IE crashes or loads white pages, I get Video_TDR_Failure ATIkmpag.sys errors and graphics do not come on after sleep... I have been researching it for a while and did not find the solutions. I was told to use Google Chrome instead of IE.

I had the same error I just had to change power cables and I downgraded my driver to an earlier version also what card do you have?

I did uninstall Catalyst each time, I use Chrome, never touch IE and I use Firefox for testing and stuff if Im having issus with Chrome.

I have an MSI Radeon R9 290 4GB

Did you check the temperature of the card?

 

[DaronMal]

My temp is 111 degrees F just watching a video on VLC. I might need to clean the fans.

 

[tiny voices]

111f is only 43c is which very cool for a 290. No issue at all.

What motherboard, and have you updated to the most recent BIOS? This can help sometimes with issues like this.

 

[mak Tom]

The temp its fine,as tiny voices said.
Did you ever try to overclock your card?
That's may be a problem.
I had similar problems when i tryed to overclock mine.

 

[DaronMal]

I never overclock, so its stock, and last time I checked my BIOS were up to date

 

[tiny voices]

Have you ever updated the BIOS? If not, it is likely not up to date at all.

 

[mak Tom]

Check graphics card voltage.

That's all i know...
I have a problem too. If you have seen something like it before,let me know. Thanks

I think it is a Flash issue.

I updated it when I first built the PC in late 2014.

 

[tiny voices]

I do not thing flash is the issue. If flash was the problem, it would only crash applications, not the entire PC.
