Hey, I'm his cousin.

Iv tried the last 3 versions and all of them freeze the system.

At one point, the system wouldn't even boot and I had to reset bios. And do a sys restore.

Iv never come accross this and I have the same chip, board and gpu.
 
This is odd.. are you using Beta version or officials? Did you try switching from one to the other? Are you both running the same board BIOS version? Same OS?
 
You could try an overclock in the Catalyst Control Centre? Has Afterburner ever worked? Maybe there are some old settings if it was.

Got my Cpu running at 4.2 on same mobo and cpu and my 7870 at 1150 through CCC
 
Iv tried all versions on his system. And yes I'm running same board and bios.

Yes I could oc it via ccc but you can't set fan profiles etc or voltage controle.

The only thing different from his system to mine Is his ram and sound card.
 
I've experienced the same. I've recently watercooled my Radeon 290, so am coming over from the green side :)

I've got Win 8.1 running on:
i7 4820k
P9X79 Pro
Sapphire R290 under water

I initially installed 2.3.1 on my i7 X79 rig and then realised that it didn;t have any voltage controls, so I then uninstalled that and installed 3. After, my PC wouldn't even boot to the log on screen - kept on black-screening at the point where you log in. I couldn't even log in, and then my problems with 8.1 arose - how do you boot into safe-mode? I find how to access it for love nor money - every site I visited (via another PC) pointed to the fact that you need to enable it once in Windows, and then to reboot. Out came the install disk - and I ran the repair. Nothing!

I ended up wiping the disk and re-installing from scratch, so Afterburner is a bit of a dirty word in my household at the moment.
 
uninstall ati drivers and msi afterburner. Run CCleaner and then put drivers back on then afterburner. I had a similar thing that was causing the ati drivers to try and run the overclocked settings without upping the voltage I'd given it in afterburner.
