Has any one ever came across this? It's driving me mad, every time I load a game after playing for a random amount of time (can be 10 minutes - 2 hours), the screen goes black, it crashes into desktop and the games "stopped responding" I then get this error that says "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered".

I've tried:

1) Under clocked the card
2) Removed old drivers and installed old ones (non beta)


I don't know what else to do besides RMA the card
 
Oh I forgot to add, the weird thing is, it passes all the stress tests like Furmark with stable temperatures, so it's just when playing games.
 
i had this ages ago with 5770 xfire, bad news i never found the cause, but good news one day it just stopped doing it all by its self
 
This is usually a voltage thing from my experience... iv had this quite a lot of times myself anytime I would overclock my cards too high and they wernt getting enough voltage.. soon as I took the clock off it wouldn't do it again.
Its just a sign that your card is unstable and the driver crashes. Like for example i can make it happen when mining if i put the intensity to max. its just a sign of the card resetting basically.
 
When I used to get this with my last set of AMD cards it was actually cased by a slightly unstable RAM and CPU overclock rather than anything to do with the GPU.
 
Well the CPU is not overclocked, I think I've tried 2 different ram sticks as well since I upgrade the ram shortly after the card and I ran memtest86 and everything was fine. I already underclocked the card,should I do anything to the voltage?
 
I had a similar problem with my R9 280x in cf. I found if I went in to Asus gpu tweak and hit default settings even though I wasn't running a custom profile it eliminated the problem.
 
I lowered the GPU voltage and *fingers cross* it has been fine for the last hour or so.

The voltage was really weird as well it was 1187 mhv. I wonder if that was the factory clock or I messed it with long time ago and forgot lol :s


Edit: It's a MSI card btw.
 
I tried that, this morning it's been crashing non stop, can't even get the game going for more then 30 seconds.

Yesterday it lasted for hours without crashing, I don't understand... last time I buy something second hand -.-. Could it be the RAM ?
