Actually i've surf the net to look for the issue that you said, the way it happens is very worrying , like doing benchmark or just surfing the net then suddenly poof it turns black screen . I do think its a hardware issue.

Hopefully yours will be alright for good , mine is still going strong

guys need your advice with one of my r9 290... since last week whenever i start my pc, my monitor will display small resolution (similar resolution like before we install gpu driver). when i check in device manager, one of the gpu stopped working and says like "windows have stopped this device because it has reported problems.." and the other one is working properly. To solve it, i need to disable both of the gpus and enable them back again and restart the pc... then the display will turn back to 1080p. Sometimes i need to restart the pc couple of times to resolve it. But the problem only happened when i shut down the pc for couple of hours.. it wont happen if i shut down the pc and boot it back right away . Already reinstall and using latest driver, registry repair and even format the pc but the prob still persist. any advice or suggestion?

What about older stable drivers?

already tried using 14.4, 14.9 and 14.9.1.. all giving same weird problems.. last few months i already RMA one of my r9 290 due to artifact problem even at stock clock.. now no more artifact and both gpus overclock very well. But this weird problem really bugged me.. i think it is hardware issue.. haiz need to RMA again ..

bro got picture /screen shot... thx

What Window your using ? are u talking about DPI ? you try with different LCD/monitor ? ?

seems like i already resolved the issue.. ive used the amd cleanup utility along with registry repair/cleaner and do a full virus scan, all in safe mode.. i also reapply the thermal paste and make some cleaning of the gpus.. since yesterday, the problem never happen yet. hmm tbh i donno how exactly it solve the problem.. maybe the gpus only wanted some physical attention and care.. which they haven't get it since the past 6 months lol!

ah.. okay.. good for ur r9 290

No news in malaysia! Shld be 1k..

RM982.

People in GS need to readjust their price.

in malaysia if price update to lower will be Very slow too implement and as usual excuse Money currency Exchange or Cost of product enter country will drive a bit price increase when in malaysia, For the moment only see idealtech update price Sapphire r9 290/290x Tri-X RM1.2K/1.4K but rest of the shop still sell RM1.8K-2K

Why is Idealtech so responsive to market changes but not other shops? This is why I support Idealtech. They may not always be the cheapest around, but they ARE the market.

what you mean by GS ?

i know right !! and too bad is Obsolete Gpu... have u bought R9 270X ?

The price list for shops in lowyat usually not trustable haha.. go there ask for best price and you will be amazed.

i know right!~ ! to tell u HOnest i NEVER buy in Idealtech but! when i visit their web site it full detail/ spec ready by PRICE, site clear easy to broswer around... and always offer promotion free assessor/software or service... e.g. delivery/cable mgmt... WOW! too bad i never exp myself... haha.. and i always recommend their shop in built advise... even some msg me say"u work for idealtech eh?"

hm... i only dun like go low yat is car park to park my humble car... learn once better park in hotel and go there with Taxi...

Idealtech good for newbies or lazy people (ME!). Their RMA/Warranty promise is another factor for choosing them.

But PC building veterans/price hagglers will get better deal and have fun bargaining in Lowyat. Good luck with RMA though The thought of finding parking just to send a stick of ram back to the shop sickens me.

hahha true! i remember when need to service my Asus G75VX... er time find car park and the wait at service center asus... (i need to buy them coffe beans drink then get fast/excellent serv)

One last thing about Idealtech: They took my booking for Gainward Phantom 970 a long time ago. Paid the deposit. Means I sealed the deal at an agreed price.

Then they told me: "Bro. Price drop by RM100. So you now pay less than previously agreed. And here's a free mini-HDMI to HDMI cable".

WTF? WHO DOES THAT? WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS ARE THEY RUNNING??????

All hail Idealtech~! Malaysia PC Master Race's vendor of choice!

Garage Sales.

Else,someone might grab one? Not yet,in January.But if my budget "blow up"..nope.

I went to LYP back in June just to do a survey,and man,parked in Pavilion,walked to LYP..felt like walking through some kind of a haunted area..

I heard that their service is good,gonna build my rig from them.
