GPU ejecting and remounting

I have a 6800XT and when gaming it is making an ejecting and remounting sound as if you were to remove and USB stick for example. This causes my game to freeze for a few seconds then resume. Tested with another card which resolves the issue.

Any solutions? Very strange problem.
 
I borrowed the same type of card a Sapphire 6800XT and tested it without issues. I presumed it was some other random problem. It is sealed properly and the PSU is 750W.
 
Checked it. Absolutely nothing related to a GPU. References malware bytes, virtual box and wireshark. There was a failing hard drive that was replaced where it advised a bad block.

I found the issue and it is the HIDs on the Radeon graphics card that are disconnecting and reconnecting

I found another thread with the issue:

Really, really annoying.

THIS has fixed it:

I disabled 2 out of three on the device manager, but there is no physical change to the lighting or anything on the card.

What would you do regarding RMA?

. If I am without a graphics card for 28 days then I have no PC.
 
I presumed so, but it was resolved by replacing the graphics card. I will make a couple of phone calls tomorrow to see what I can do. Thanks any people.
 
Eventually seems completely fixed. Downloaded the latest "optional" drivers and completed a factory reset and it seems ok now. Not impressed. Thanks for the suggestions.
