Seeing this when I boot up my PC.

[arkrival]

Ok I just got my New GPU a XFX R9 390 and I wanted to see what I could do OCing it.

I used MSI Afterburner and the settings were unstable so I had to restart.

Now when I boot up I see this image below.

My PC still runs great and the GPU is clocked like normal no OCing it.

I ordered this from Newegg, do I need to RMA this GPU or is it ok?

If that is what you see at the POST screen (before booting to Win), yes. The card is not working properly.
If the POST screen is fine and that shows up only after entering Win, there may be some driver issues.

You've damaged your GPU it seems, always be careful when Overclocking. If the warranty covers it see if you can replace it, if not you should buy a new GPU. I can help you with that, but I'll need to know your Power supply, CPU, and budget please.

No that is what shows up before entering windows, The second I turn on the PC I see this.

Should I try a different PCI-e slot? or would that not help?

 

[Justin Tullis]

Could be a faulty PC I slot, try another and see if that fixes it.

I changed my sig, My current build is my setup.

Ya I tried reinstalling the Drivers for the 300 series and changing the PCI-e slots. FUCK! lol nothing that is still there when I boot up.

Is there any program to test my GPU to see if its bad? or that I might be loosing any performance?

Yes, there is. It is called booting the PC. It your display is corrupted even at boot, there is something hardware-specific wrong with the system. The GPU is the first item to suspect obviously. You need another gfx card to try or another PC to test the faulty card in to verify.

Well I have a R9 280x Sapphire Vapor X and I know that does not do this when I boot it up.

So I am guessing its this GPU.

It would certainly seem so, yes. I was going to suggest removing the card from the PC and trying the other card. Then putting the R9-390 back in to see if anything changed. But it sounds like you already did that.

 

[arkrival]

Yup well I now know not to fuck with MSI Afterburner lol.

 

[arkrival]

Thanks for the help guys. RMA as I type.

Yup well I now know not to fuck with MSI Afterburner lol.

How much OC'ing did you do with the card? Usually, the card will shut down or just fail the OC before doing itself damage. Usually.

Not much At all lol. I was googling some OCing on what to use on MSI afterburner and I tried some out. The settings I used did stall the GPU and the video did cut out, I only did this about 3 times. Never had an issue with a GPU before OCing it. I guess this GPU is a bad one out of the gate. Glad I found this sooner then later lol.
