290 BSOD during Youtube Video Error 0xa00001

What motherboard are you using? I was getting a similar BSOD when using a motherboard with an Nf200 chip. Turns out its incompatible with XDMA crossfire.
 
has it been stable for a while and just started doing it? has it done it since you installed it?

Whats the rest of your system specs?

Do you have the dump files/crash logs? Theres a program called whocrashed that can tell you what driver etc was responsible for the crash.
 
I was getting that 0xa000001 on my system (290 as well) when my overclock for my CPU/Ram was bad, I fixed my voltages and all was fine. However it isn't necessarily the same for you.

Download bluescreenview and see what is specifically is listed as causing the BSOD.

Uninstall old driver, reboot, install 13.12 WHQL .

As a note if you previously had a different amd/nvidia card in the PC, and haven't done so already, I would run DDU (display drivers uninstaller) before installing.

Reset overclock to stock, see if the bsod's continue.


Failing all of the above a format and run memtest on each individual stick of ram you have for a good few passes.


Hope some of this helps.

Does the error occur with single cards?

It did for me yes.

My BSOD code was identical to his. It also happened when the pc was idle or was viewing youtube. During games or under load i was fine. Since i got a newer motherboard that replaced the NF200 (Nvidia) chip with a newer PLX chip the problems vanished.
 
Not sure on the nfchip, ill have to check. System is fairly new, but has run perfect until this point, I recently installed a h100i, and that is running at 27c sometimes but at others under no load randomly goes up to 37-41c.
 
Yer, mine kinda came out of now where as well though. That was the confusing thing, i didnt change anything hardware, software nor my overclock related since I got my 290 and then a week into using my it I started getting the BSODs. Reset OC to stock and it disappeared, put it back to my normal 24/7 OC which I had been using for ages and it would BSOD and had to end up pushing more volts through pretty much everything to get it back to stability.

Either way just start running through the basics and checking everything to rule things out.
 
I had this problem with a HD 7850 2GB. Would run games / movies fine, but whenever we launched a Youtube video it would cause system crash. Sometimes driver would report error and sometimes would need reboot.

I'm positive it's driver related as this same card works fine on older drivers. What drivers are you using on your 290?
