R9 380 (Display driver stopped responding and has recovered)

[Ignacio Grassini]

Hey guys! First of all, this is my setup:

i5 6600k
Asus z170-k
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2133MHZ
R9 380
EVGA 600b

All running at stock speed.

In GTA V I get 60fps on ultra, but sometimes I get a drop in the FPS (10fps or less), I don't know why this happens.
In The Evil Within sometimes the screen freezes, goes black, and I get the "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
Now I'm playing Shadow Of Mordor (60 fps on ultra), sometimes I get the drop on the FPS, and sometimes the screen just freezes, goes black and I get the same message (Display driver stopped responding and has recovered)

Could be that my PSU is not enough for the system? (I've already checked PSU calculator and it's fine)

My video drivers are updated.
I use Sapphire TRIXX to create the GPU's fan profile (If I don't do this, the fan speed sticks on 20% and the GPU reaches 75º)

Thank u !

If you had an Nvidia card before that a.m.d. one you should run the trouble shooter in control panel.
You should also note most importantly
PSU calculator can only give you a wattage guide,it can not tell you your power supply is a bit 'pants' and cant actually supply the watts stated.
Your power supply is 'on the edge' of pants.
If the windows install was done with the 380 I would get a seasonic S12II 520 or XFX TS 550 for the r9-380.
It is a little hungrier than many people believe.

Yes I had a NVIDIA card before, I'll try the troubleshooting and I tell you.
I guess I need to get another PSU, lot of people recommend the xfx

Thanks!

Try troubl shooter first, if all o.k. put psu on birthday list.
600b is a bit 'weak' spot. Put it in grannies surfing rig.
(or Little bruv's gtx 950 machine).

I don't know where is that troubleshooting, but I removed from device manager my old card (and it's software)
I hope that I can sell my psu to get another x.x
How about "Seasonic 750w 80+ Bronze M12ii" ? It's modular and Tier 2 too
Thanks for your reply!

If you still had old software from the Nvidia card you should erase it ALL and run driver sweeper.
It will not affect what you need which is windows kernel settings I believe.
In windows 7 it is in control panel, trouble shooting (first column lower)
Hardware and Sounds, Hardware and devices. Click on everything.
I dont know about 8 or ten, sorry.
Second hand power suplies are worthless, you will have to 're purpose' it.
And tel your friends not to buy cheap power suplies ,it just leads 'here'.

I formatted my pc, installed al drivers and it's working perfect so far, stable 60 fps in Shadow of mordor without black screens, and I will start getting money from the psu, thanks for your quick reply !
