Okay, stick with me, this is going to take some explaining. So I recently built a new PC, but reused a few parts from my previous rig. One of those parts being my graphics card. The main reason for this being that the new GPUs from Nvidia and AMD will be released soon, so I plan to wait for them. So my old Sapphire Radeon 7850 2gb card was put into my new build for the time being, Now, here are my build specs in case anyone needs to know:
AMD FX-6300
MSI Krait 970A Motherboard
Sapphire Radeon 7850 2GB OC Edition
Windows 10
OCZ ModXstream-Pro 700W PSU
NZXT Kraken X61 Liquid cooling
Kingston 120gb SSD & WD Blue 1tb Drive
Now, on to my problem...... The graphics driver keeps crashing and then recovering. Over and over again this problem occurs. I could simply be opening Google Chrome and this happens. Now, this started right after I installed Windows 10 on the new rig. However, I originally installed Windows 8.1, because I had a copy laying around with an unused product code. Right after I installed Windows 8.1, I updated to Windows 10. That's when the crashes started happening.
I've tried many things to fix the issues, looking through endless amount of forums and nothing has worked, so I came here. I've tried rolling back the driver for the card, I've tried setting the TdrDelay to 8 seconds, I've even reinstalled Windows 8.1 back on the machine (Which its currently running now), but nothing has worked. The only thing that has worked is to delete all AMD drivers and use the basic Windows driver that's built in......Which means no gaming or pretty much anything for that matter. Does anyone have any ideas on solving this issue? Is my GPU just fried? I could really use some help because it's basically bricking my brand new machine right now. Thanks!
