Hi all, I'm temporarily running a Radeon R9 270x so I can game until I save up for something more capable, however I'm having issues.
Every now and again I get no monitor signal, and have to switch the hdmi cable to the onboard GPU, checking device manager shows that the card isn't there, unless I click on hidden devices, where I'm confronted with a message which says at this time the device is not connected, or words to that effect, which it obviously is as nothings changed.
Sometimes even if I do that, and also scan for hardware changes it's just not there at all, plus I'm also getting random bsod / stop code crashes relating to thread stuck in device driver as well.
The card is a known good unit and performs very well in games, but obviously not when the pc decides that it's not there.
I usually avoid AMD cards as I don't think I've ever had one where I don't get problems, but as this was given to me for nothing by one of my best friends I can't really complain, it's just annoying that I can't quite afford a gtx980ti quite yet.
Full system specs are...
Asus prime b250m-a
I5 7600 (non k)
R9 270x 2gb
16gb ddr4 1600 ram (2x8gb crucial)
Intel 320 series 160gb SSD
Toshiba 2tb HDD.
I have so far wiped everything GPU related with DDU, disabled the onboard in bios in an attempt to force it to use the card every time and reinstall the amd drivers fresh, but the installer fails because it says I have no hardware installed.
Any ideas of things I can try?
Many thanks in advance
