280X Driver crashing

[Clairvoyant]

I have done a fresh install of windows.

If I play a game crash, if I mine crash.

Its not temps as they are only hitting 70 max (thats if its not crashed).

I have tried the betas, latest 13.12s.

I have no idea what to try next.

And I have not clocked the cards.

AMD Driver stopped. that crash.

Hmmm

Im getting some random blocks (artifacting I guess) in one place. Could a duff card cause this. And the driver stopping.

 

[Clairvoyant]

Well its going to be a wasted weekend testing each card, each slot. Not what I need to be doing on a weekend with a family. lol

Tried both cards and mining crashes. BF4 AMD Driver has stopped.

What now.

 

[Clairvoyant]

I get artifacts too. Driver crashes are hit and miss.

There's another user on here who bought the same card and has the same issue. Could be a bad batch?

So is it RMA or DSR either way its going to be a waiting time.

I am getting a few glitches in Heaven 4. dont recall seeing artifacts in BF4. Sometimes the driver will crash as soon as it loads other times after a couple of mins.

Will need to try another game.

Mining is just a bonus for when I am at work or asleep.

Hmm tried a couple of games some crash (just goes back to desktop), some seem to run fine.

Im confused.

Just tried in BF4 +13mv (set 10 but it went to 13), then +20 on the power slider. Both times driver stopped.

I hope this works. I had to send me first one back due to a faulty fan, now I have 2 artifacting and crashing the AMD driver.

Do they artifact and crash every game.

 

[Clairvoyant]

Sending both of mine back! This will be 3 of these I have had to post back in a week now! Think it is time to just spend the extra and get the Sapphire toxic that I wanted!

What was the turn around time.

The Toxic looks nice, but its to long for my case with my RAD. And a lot more pennies.

I am on my other card. Seems stable (ish) I just am getting artifacts in a block in the same place.
