Hello, my graphics card keeps overheating and it is making my entire system crash, ive tried changing the slot it is in, tried changing fans and airflow and so many other things but nothing seems to work. I even tried to buy an ew case which is the on I am currently using. My computer has like 6 fans, two top, one bottom, one back and two front. Ill post a picture of what I think may or may not be the problem and tell me what you think. https://postimg.org/image/437x8zlnh/
-I couldnt figure out how to post an image so thats a url to the image. Its kinda blurry but im wondering if that white part thats sticking out is important to the cooling of the graphics card.

I can´t see much. The only thing that appears to me is that your card is not correctly inserted in the PCIe Slot. On the left side it seems to be not inserted untill the end. Other than that, I have no idea.

Are you sure it's your graphics card? Run Valley Benchmark for 15 minutes and tell us the max temp it gets to.

Also I'm watching the temperature drop and it is taking a concerning long time to get low probably been 7 or 8 minutes since it hit 95 and I only have this tab and facebook open and it is still at 83 celcius. I think something inside the card isnt running properly

yeah thats a very poor unit, I'm quite sure thats your problem .
you will need a quality power supply unit.

A better PSU won't prevent overheating, let's deal with that first.

95 is throttling/instability territory. You need very good cable management and at least 2x intake 2x exhaust fans to deal with the 390's heat output. Run the gpu fans around 55% and case fans on max and see if that helps.

People forget these cards put out 250w of heat into a very small envelope (case). You MUST have a clean flow of air taking heat away.

For reference, I peak at 77c in a matx case with overvolted 390, so its manageable

I'll add, you should be using Afterburner to set custom fan profiles and Argus monitor/speedfan to set case fan ramps as gpu temps increase. If case fans are linked to cpu temps (often in bios) they won't ramp as gpu load increases. Another common error.

I am having this same exact problem with my asus R9 390 I have no idea what the issue is. i Just posted on this. I also have the same power supply as you. But My computer has been going good for a year and this randomly started happening to me.
Did you ever get it fixed?
