not just you Mr. cat man... other bro with Crossfire setting who reply me earlier also using AFBurner is just me bad luck with it.. better not and Never again.. for me Only..

did u OC Mem Gpu? or Ram? have u done Window reinstall? look like memory force to process faster than it should... but either way if u done reinstall window and still appear is have to be GPU mem or RAM...

Add-on:what cpu ur using? try use in-boards igpu, see if problem persist

R9 285 is best bang for power/value/performance for AMD but depend what is your Current budget ? and Game you thinking to play? and current Max Resolution LCD/Monitor support ? do you mind using Second hand GPU? cause i see Sapphire R9 290 TriX selling RM900-1000 Garage(not pay higher than that as u can get GTX 970 RM1099 @idealtech)...

CPU is 3570k, not oc'd.
Never OC as long i had the card, only happened after i updated the driver 14.9. Previously i had it but it reverted back to normal but now cant get into normal windows 7 to check the Catalyst control panel to see if the overdrive(?) gone crazy or not since it cant find the graphic card "ccc cant detect/find ati/amd device" eventhough the 7800 series is detected in device manager. I dont think its computer ram issue since now im using the IGP and no bsod so far.

Might be the v-ram but im confused, can v-ram issue made that bluescreen atikmpag.sys occur? Googling since this morning up to 5pm found similar issue (amd/ati driver installation problem with previous version).

I even tried swapping the atikmpag.sys method but still same.

hm look V-ram is damage or corrupt.. is still under warranty? atikmpag.sys is gpu driver faulty or corrupt driver install.. hmm but red line saw in ur screencapture kinda note gpu ram issues...

ADD : remove the gpu and use igpu. see if u can enter into window... if no issues confirm is gpu and use DDU use option installing new gpu option.. and rma or buy second hand gpu on garage

Gonna try this again since i had the card remove for quite sometimes now, previous I already remove the gpu and install it back but still same. I'll update later.

ok i noted that u Never OC... but Remove After burner or Trixx or any software that use for OC.. and get CCleaner to do Reg Sweep..

I guess my gpu might as well already be dead since the v-ram corrupted.Thanks for the help. This time i managed to capture the red checkerboard artifact. Truly AMD/ATI

That look like a faulty GPU. Time for a new one i guess.

i just flash the right bios to clear the testvbios.. only 6950 2gb is recommended for upgrade the bios to 6970.. i have tried to flash 6970 bios but no success.. the only thing that i can do is tweak the 6950 bios and unlock the shader from 1408 to 1536..

hi, need help from r9 280 user here. can you guys still play latest games like fc4 at ultra?

Umm,you can search that on google..




That is a weaker GPU,should be slightly more in terms of FPS.

60 FPS? Nope.
Over 30 FPS? Yup.

try this method.. disable ccc, overclock and overvolt the gpu a bit using afterburner or trixx.. last time i also facing same problem but after i oc the card 1120core, 1350mem, +50mv the problem solved.. the most important is overvolt the card and disable ccc.. oc without overvolt may not solve the issue..
