Sapphire R9 290

Hello,

I bought the Sapphire R9 290 graphics card but i'm experiencing issues with it.
When I install the 1.4. drivers and then restart, the PC after a while crashes.

When I uninstall the drivers all works just fine. No crashes.

What could be the problem? The PSU? The CPU?

List of components I use:
- ASUS M7A78L-M USB3 Motherboard
- AMD FX-6100 "Zambezi" 3,3GHz Processor
- 16GB DDR3 RAM
- Kingston Hyper X 120GB SSD
- Seagate Sata III 500GB HDD
- Sapphire R9 290 4GB GDDR5 graphics card
- 51-in-1 Card Reader
- TSST Corp CD/DVD Writer
- MS-TECH MS-N850-VAL 850watt Power Supply

Will the Graphics card and the PSU work together?

You should replace your PSU ASAP! MS-TECH products are very unreliable and will most likely kill your components in a very short time, it also is the most probable cause of your crashes.

And your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu in most games. (not the answer to your problem, just wanted to tell you).

I will. I just ordered the Corsair CX750M.

Congratulations, I hope you issues will now be resolved, and if not, your components will still live a longer life.

I ordered the Corsair CX750M. Recommended by a lot of friends and a hell of a lot safer!
Bedankt!
