As high as I can
I can only get 1150Mhz with +100mV

The one other that was faulty overclocked much better ;C

1150 is about my limit for 14/7. its not great but no bad.

I'm about to try a different BIOS.

I've got a MSI R9 290 and i keep having the atikmdag.sys blue screens. I've installed afterburner beta so i could up the voltage which seems to have helped in reducing the crashes. Any other ideas?

Running two here windows 8.1 14.4 working fine. Bsod can be other hardware issue I would give ram a test to rule that out.

Are they overclocked at all? I only ask because at stock both my msi gaming editions were fine and even undervolted they have been fine.

I got those blue screens and also black screens. I returned the card and got a refund on it.

I have the black screen on 14.4. After the reboot during installation it shows the windows logo, then the welcome screen and then it's just black. I can hear system sounds in the background so the rest of it seems to be running ok.

I have tried it with a custom install with just the driver and CCC and it just keeps doing the same thing.

It all works fine in 13.12 so I'm back there for now. I'm going to try a mobo bios/uefi and intel drivers upgrade tonight just in case.

They were stock but the issue was worse then. I'll try re doing the RAM test but everything was fine before i added the gpu. I was running a xfx 6770 before which was fine. I'm running a Phenom 965 BE with 16GB corsair 1600 mhz ram

 

[thefogo]

Can you try the card in someone else's system?

 

[bulletv1]

Don't have any other systems available to swap it over with as my work pc is too small and the pc i built my other half is watercooled prodigy. Was wondering maybe my psu is getting knackered. Its some 900 watt thing i bought in 2007.

 

[thefogo]

It's possible; what brand is it?

I flashed my card with a reference OC bios to make the fan profile nicer and to have my memory at 1250 by default.
It works well except on the auto fan profile the fan speeds up slightly until the card hits 70C, then the fan starts slowing down
Anyone got any ideas?

Probably because its looking for a temp target/fan target option which is not available in overdrive, or is it? If not you may just need to set a manual fan profile with afterburner like the rest of us.

 

[thefogo]

I don't have overdrive enabled. Could that be why?

It's a Hi-Power Black 900W Modular which it appears i actually bought in 2008.

 

[thefogo]

Never heard of it

 

[bulletv1]

900 watt for 70 quid wasn't bad lol

 

[thefogo]

If it actually puts out 900W. Most of these unknown brands don't.
At least it wasn't a £20 one

Cheap no brand psu are a big no, no. For one they don't offer the safety specs of good quality brands. Two they say there 900 etc but never truly output anyway close to that.

That'd go pop they is a very high chance it will take other parts with it.

 

[bulletv1]

Well my gpu behaved it self last night and no crashes :O
So i guess spec me a psu
