I recently bought the 8350 for my machine, back when I was still using an ASUS 6950 and everything was running great. A few weeks ago I bought an XFX r9 290 and since I've had that my pc has been an onversized paperweight. Sometimes will crash on startup, sometimes 5 minutes into a show on netflix, sometimes on desktop 30 seconds after boot up, sometimes 10 minutes into a game; it's entirely unpredictable.
I've done countless clean driver installs, using DDU and mopping up with ccleaner. About a week ago AMD released 14.4 drivers, this got rid of the DCP latency issues I was having (last of my troubles) but the issue persisted, and instead of just black screening I am sometimes now experiencing a complete breakup to coloured static of the image on screen, and instead of restarting itself, the computer needs to be shut down via the case button.
I just downloaded a blue screen viewer and it says that the driver causing the crashes has been ntoskrnl.exe, I also have a dump file that I have put in a cloud folder to view (can post here, haven't managed to look at it myself yet). I've also run a memtest on both my sticks of RAM, both fine.
This problem is driving me insane, as I have just spent so much money on this machine only to not be able to use it. Thanks in advance!
