R9 390 keeps crashing ?

Thats good news I think the issue might be from you having the stock Windows 10 driver for the GPU.
After Windows 10 update you will need to re-install most software. When I updated from Windows 8.1 to 10 I had the stock driver from Microsoft I needed to Re-install AMD driver..

Try never to use Microsoft Drivers there design is just to have the system up and running.

I wondered if it might be Windows 10 related I've had zero issues with mine but then I'm running W7.

Is there anyway to stop Windows 10 from updating drivers without permission from the user? Had an issue with an Ethernet driver once that once Windows Update downloaded it could not connect to the Internet, had to install the driver from the motherboard CD to get teh Interwebz working again, until Windows downloaded a non-working driver again... at least with Win 7 you could turn off automatic updates.

it's annoying though coming from Nvidia which did not have these issues.

Sure, because Microsoft never messes up Nvidia drivers, ever.

Go Team Green, Go Windows 10, its the only way... seriously, exactly when did PC users become so complacent?

easy tiger. I'm on W10 already. I just shared my experience.

all seems to be going well another day in, She has been playing cod and it is going fine. I even ran furmark for a while (if anything is going to crash a GPU i find furmark kills it) and it poked up with that for 20 mins (got to 81c mind) running fine in firestrike too getting 10,000 in the benchmark on stock clocks.

seems it was some form of driver issue.

So my experience with my first "team red" card is great bang for buck but the drivers and the software sucks utter balls compared to the nvidia drivers. Think i personally will stick with nvidia but at least i have a red card to say im not bias

Now its working it is working well but i did loost 6 hours of my life messing about with drivers and reinstalling stuff that i will never get back

OK so spoke too soon, its crashing again. Getting driver crashes in even viewer again. screen just going black. Think i have had enough now tbh.

I purchased it on the 26th of last month (from OCUK) what's my best options for sending it back ? Then i have the dilemma of what to replace it with.

Hmmm seems to be game specific there are a number of threads like this online, it seems to only be crashing on black ops.

have you got a spare drive to test with windows 7?

might be worth a try before messing around returning the card.

 

[Randall8686]

not really. starting to think its not the card, or at least hardware. it seems it a driver issue with certain games. still i think that is cause for concern if they cant get drivers stable with major tittles.

 

[kefan77]

it was def a driver issue in my case. i would get crashes every 20 mins, while temps and all were fine.

Once I installed 15.9 beta not a single crash in 2 weeks.

Probably a PSU issue, try connecting two separate cables from the PSU for each PCI-E power connection on the card. The PSU you listed (Corsair cx600m) isn't a great one, it's built by CWT and uses cheaper capacitors etc.

I'd try the card with a good quality PSU first, if you return it to OCUK, they'll test it with a good quality superflower etc and will just send it back to you if it works properly.
