2nd hand R9 280x - games crashing

[avrc]

Need some help. It's a Gigabyte R9 280x bought 2nd hand from a member on here. Plugged the 6 and 8 pin powers in. (pc power and cooling 750w) Run display driver uninstaller and then installed catalyst. Any game I try stops responding within seconds.

Any ideas?

I have a similar issue.

Gigabyte R9 280X drivers crashing.

Download MSI afterburner and lower the clock from 1100 to 1050 or around that amount and test. If it still crashes go 50 lower and test again. Could be an unstable overclock as I think these are factor OC'd. I run mine at 1049 and it never crashes, however when I forget to drop it, it will certainly crash within the hour. Still unsure whether to return it or not!

My core clock is listed as 1000 and memory at 1500

Last mother board bios update is listed in 2011 and it was a beta one so I'm not sure I want to even try that.

The box says the card is GV-R928XOC-3GD (rev. 2.0)

I think I've fixed it. Just flashed the card bios to the latest F13 and I've had a complete round of titanfall without issue.

Just played 1hr 30min of titanfall and all is ok
