faulty r9 280x?

[Zairs]

Think I have a dead r9 280x windforce. My computer keeps crashing when playing games just get a yellow and brown screen, I have reduced the setting in game and I can play for a bit longer before it crashes. I run fur mark and it lasts about 2 minutes and temps don't go above 75. I have swapped out the psu for a known good one and I'm still having the issues. I'm guessing it's the gpu, but have I missed anything?

Have you tried the card n another pcie slot?? Might b worth a shot as could be faulty slot on the board. Also are the drivers up to date or does it coincide with an driver update?

How are you connect to the card to the monitor?? Dodgy colours could be dodgy cable

It crashes , in fur mark it will restart in games it just stays with the yellows screen.
Thanks I will try those ideas

Reseated it, so far so good, is fur mark the best stress test to use?

Maybe I spoke too soon. Still doing it

Does changing the cable fix it? If no, then I would probably RMA it if it's in warranty.
