Frustrating 290 black screen/sleep issues

[jwilliamson47]

Hi,
I've been recently having some annoying issues with my 290 when the computer switches the screen off after 15mins due to inactivity. Sometimes, the screen will go black, as you would expect but moving the mouse/tapping the keys on occasion won't bring the screen back online and i have to do a hard reset.

Other times.. the computer goes to sleep, and then bizarrely awakens by itself without me pressing anything at all!

A temp solution would be to stop the monitor turning off and the pc going in to sleep mode on the power saving settings in windows, then if you leave your pc on while your afk or whatever just turn your monitor off.

Yeah! I might update to the beta drivers to see it that helps.

Single card or crossfire?

Having the same problem on an MSI 290. I'm on the beta drivers, it does seem to be when the system turns off to low power.

Hi, read this tutorial it tells you how to set up the power saving options for sleep/allow hybrid sleep/hibernate it may help you?

I prefer Hibernate out of the 3 options.
