r9 290 black screen when turning display back on?

[Sacrifice]

Hi, so when I leave my pc for 10 mins, the display turns off. I move the mouse to wake it, and there is a black screen, but with backlight. A simple ctrl+alt+delete then task manager solves this, but it is annoying to be happening every time. Also, was this the black screen they were trying to solve with the 9.4 beta drivers, because if so, it hasn't for me.

Also as a quick side note, anyone else missing the 'performance' tab (and AMD Overdrive inside it) missing from the CCC with the 9.4 drivers?

Thanks

Sounds to me the driver is crashing. If the card is at stock clock, it really shouldn't be happening. May be try increasing the power limit?

I ain't even bothered with CCC, I just use MSI Afterburner for controling my settings- PowerLimits, voltage, and overclocking etc.

I'm using 9.4 Beta as well, and yea the performance tab is not there. Don't bother me though as I usually don't touch the ccc. Just use MSI Afterburner.

As for the blackscreen issue, it is not what you experiencing...that blackscreen is hard-crash and require force restart (can't alt-tab-del to task manager). This generally only occur when overclocking the memory clock too high (as in unstable memory overclock) and not evough voltage is used.
