Hey guys,
When I installed this card back in August, I attributed some stability issues to the freshness of the drivers. But they've continued to plague me. Even with regular usage of DDU and updates to the chipset and GPU drivers, I am now in a spot where I can barely load into the menus for stuff like Doom or even World of Warships without freezing, followed by the driver telling me it had instability, or the screen just going black and needing to do a forced reboot.
It was bad enough that I was worrying it was the card, but I'm pretty positive it's not. For kicks I decided to manually install the driver-only from the latest WHQL Adrenalin release a few nights ago and got in a solid few hours off issue free gaming. But now things are back on the fritz.
I would REALLY like to avoid clean installing Windows to attempt to fix this.
Any suggestions?
