MSi R7 240

[thatrandomnoise]

I just got the MSi R7 240 2GB DDR3 today, I put it in my computer, installed the latest drivers and every time I go to play games such as Rust or Garry's Mod, the game likes to freeze after doing an action such as opening and closing a menu in game. I have Windows 10 Home Edition, an ASUS A55BM-PLUS Motherboard with an EVGA 500W PSU, an A6 7400K AMD APU with Radeon R5 graphics, and for RAM G.Skill RipjawsX F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL (2X4GB) DDR3 1866MHz. Any help to find a fix for this would be amazing, this is my first time building a computer, so I don't really know what I'm doing. I know this is quite a bit and I would like any help. Thank you so much.

It might be a software glitch pertaining to the change in gfx drivers. You might want to start over...
Run DDU from safe mode: www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/download/DDU%20v15.7.3.1.exe

Have it uninstall any Nvidia and AMD driver and its remnants it finds. Boot to Win and then run CCleaner: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Do the Clean and Registry portions both.

That should clean up any old driver issues in the registry and most software conflicts.

Hmm never heard of this. Try doing what clutchc suggested and if it doesn't work check your gpu temps, it can be an overheating issue.
