[SOLVED] RX 460 Crashing In Any Game

[TheCreativeNewb]

My RX 460 keeps crashing in most games I play. I've had this problem for quite a while but I always managed to do the downclock workaround for it, but lately not even downclocking works anymore as in newer games it crashes every 5 mins or so. I want to know if it might be a specific problem from my side or if I have to send it for a repair.

My specs are ;
CPU: FX8350
Motherboard: Asustek M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 (AM3R2)
GPU: Radeon RX 460 Dual OC 2GB GDDR5 128-bit
Power Supply : 600 W Njoy Titan

Thanks in advance if anyone has an idea of the situation 🙂

ok north bridge is the metal part over gpu slot mark asus and south is the other blue one at the end of gpu you could also check or those little part between cpu and hdmi letters in the top left of board below the 4 pins atx plug https://www.asus.com/ca-fr/Motherboards/M5A78L-M-PLUS-USB3/gallery/

It's not a heating problem, because the gpu might sometimes even crash at windows launch.

could you try the gpu in another system and if you have a old one try it on this board .

Sadly, I've no system that I can test this on ):.

if you use onboard video with gpu out does system work as it should .

My CPU does not have an an onboard gpu. I am fairly confident it's an issue with the gpu itself as I've heard many people having problems with the RX 460.

then if it under warranty ask rma or you could have it test in a shop before the rma .

Yep, I guess it's the last resort, sadly.
