Best drivers for Sapphire R9 290

The new error code indicates:

0x1E = increase vcore (cpu)

You will need to set the voltages manually as it seems like auto isn't doing it correctly.

New card stresses the cpu more hence why old card wasn't giving a bsod issue.

This.

I believe you are correct. I disabled turbo mode in order to set the cpu to 3.6Ghz and used XMP mode for overclocking to set the ram at 1866Mhz. I have 16B (4 x 4GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 2400MHz DIMM CL9. Its set to 1.65V.

I changed the ram speed from 1866Mhz to 2133Mhz for testing purposes and the error code 0x000000D1 came back. It seems to be that it is a mixture of ram/cpu voltages problem.

I am going to leave CPU at base 3.6Ghz and leave ram at 1866Mhz as it passed prime95 tests.

14.4 WHQL are the only drivers that don't give me BSOD with my 290. It would happen 90% of the time when viewing a youtube video.

Can I just ask, did this happen with both flash and HTML5 versions of Youtube?

Just that I had a bit of an issue earlier this year with a buggy version of flash making my 290 panic itself.
 
Guys,

Just a quick question regarding memtest86+. I am using it now and it says testing 2048M of 16G. How do I change this so it tests all of the memory? Its been over 3 hours and its still doing its second pass. 16GB will take forever to test I think.
 
I was just playing Crysis 3 on very high settings with 4x anti-aliasing and it gave me an average of 30fps. Everything was going well and it worked for over an hour and than BSOD came back :( This time with the error 0x0000000001E

Edit: I just used "whocrashed" software and it gave the following report:

On Fri 20/06/2014 04:50:41 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\062014-18174-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x75B90)
Bugcheck code: 0x1E (0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System

description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

I used a third party software to get rid of all the previous drivers. When I install the AMD drivers I get this warning:

Other detected devices


Manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Device ID 0xaac8
Vendor ID 0x1002
Class Code 0x040300
Revision ID 0x00
Subsystem ID 0xaac8
Subsystem vendor ID 0x174b


Could this be a problem?
 
Like I said before you need to set the right cpu vcore voltage. Change from auto to manual and put the right voltage. the is the same error code indicating unstable vcore.

This is the tool to use for uninstalling driivers:

http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html

The procedure would be to first use the amd drivers uninstall manager to remove as normal and then run the tool to get rid of the left over files.

After a system restart install new drivers.

No idea why your're getting the warning, what is your system spec?

Here is a thread i made not to long ago where i had a problem when i upgraded to a 290x and it was my vcore that needed increasing.

Thanks for your reply. That is exactly the tool that I found online too and used. Please find my system spec in my signature now. I only have one graphics card but I was previously using dual monitors. Could this be because of that?

I've got top of the range motherboard and I thought it should be more than capable of handling issues like these. I am running cpu on 100% stock and I still need to go round changing voltages. This is just really annoying :(
 
Uninstallating the drivers using that software didn't work because I still got the same error 0x000001E after playing crysis 3 for just over an hour. I looked at that thread you posted and it seems like that the error messages you got pointed that there is something wrong with the hardware while mine says that there is something wrong with the software. I'll still try and adjust the voltage and see what it does.

Edit: Should I manually set the vcore voltage for the cpu or just use the offset as I am leaving the cpu at stock?

I've still had no luck sorting this problem out. I have tried using offset that didn't work so I went on to manually adjusting the vcore voltage but 0xD1 error keeps coming back. I will now try to change VTT voltage and hope that fixes it. The only other option I can think of is to install fresh copy of the windows to rule out any software issues.
 
Okay regardless of whether I set the voltages myself or leave it to auto, the computer crashes at the exact same test point everytime. I am running prime95 blend test. When the test gets to the following stage it crashes:

Test 1, 4000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M18474367 using AVX FFT length 960K, Pass1 =768, Pass2=1280.

It takes about an hour to get to this point.

The error as I mentioned previously is:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

0X00000000D1

storport.sys - Address FFFFF8800197E0D2 base at FFFFF8800197D000, DateStamp 52f04432
 
Storport.sys is the windows storage driver, I would run some tests on your hard drives or ssd

Make sure you have latest chipset drivers and any controller drivers for sata.

Thanks once again shankly1985. I upgraded all the storage related drivers and also uninstalled AI suite which some people reported causes BSOD issues and now prime95 has gone past the stage where it was crashing. I can't be 100% sure that everything is fine but it is at least shown progress from where I've been stuck for days. I will keep this running for another few hours and than do a gaming test on the system.
 
Its fixed :) I can't believe it was just some drivers causing such a big problem. I have been able to clock up my cpu to 4.3Ghz and ram to 1866Mhz (cas9). It's time to play with the graphics card now. Any suggestions which software is best to test the gpu for stability after overclocking it?

I have set the gpu to 1100Mhz core and 1450 Mhz memory and set power limit to +50%. I tested it by playing crysis 3 and it seemed fine. I used afterburner for overclocking and fan control. What sort of overclock have people achieved here with Vapor-X?

Crysis 3 has proved to be a really good game to test this on :) I decided not to mess with the core voltage. I increased the power limit to +50 and have managed to achieve an overclock of 1105Mhz core and 1450Mhz memory clock. I might still be able to push these further without having to mess with voltages but I think I'll probably just leave it here as I don't wanna push the gpu unnecessarily. The max temperatures I saw during the game was 65C with 65% fan speed.
