HELP! Strange Problem

WYNIR0 · 11 Dec 2015 at 11:31

Hi, looking for some views on a strange problem I'm having.

My media pc runs win 10 pro and has an MSI R9 270x recently bought from Overclockers. Since upgrading to windows 10 it, when watching youtube or netflix the system hangs to a black or white screen.

If I swap the 270x out for one of my other cards I dont appear to get the problem. Also if I move the 270x into one of my other systems the problem doesn;t appear to occur. Am testing.

I thought that I'd fixed the issue by reseating the 270x but it came back after about a week.

PSU is a 3 month old EVGA 750w G2 which doesn't give a problem with a r9 390-so I'm fairly sure it's not that. Any other ideas before I try a full rebuild?

Problem occurs on both CCC and the Crimson drivers.

It has been reported that the change between CCC and Crimson have caused this issue. Did you do a complete driver wipe before installing Crimson?

Thanks, I did, however I'm 90% sure I had the problem before Crimson.

I'll try a full driver removal and reinstall this weekend and see what happens.

well, did a complete removal. All worked ok for a day and is now back to the hangs. Any ideas before I do a bloody rebuild?!
