Hi
I think my R9 4390 8gb card may have developed a fault and would appreciate some advice please. Its running in my desktop with an Ryzen 3600, 16gb RAM, 2 SSD drives and 2 HD's.
Day to day use is fine. When I run any kind of benchmark the computer either crashes/hangs or reboots, usually at the GPU testing stage, as if any load on the GPU makes it throw a wobbly. Its been fine upto now although the games I play are not that GPU intensive (Hald Life Black Mesa)
My initial thought was the PSU which was an old 750w Aerocool Mod XT (which I subsequently read had not glowing reviews but ok) so I just changed it for a 650w Core Reactor 650 gold . I think this should still be powerful enough for my rig. However, no luck as the benchmarks still made it crash.
I have uninstalled the GPU drivers, used DDU and then installed older drivers which are known to be stable but no luck.
I have an old GTX750TI card so swapped it and the PC did not crash so it does sound like the R9 is playing up but is there anything else I can do to check the card please, in case its something fixable (unlikely)?
If not, I guess I will have to get a replacement which I was expecting as I want to connect to my Oculus Quest 2 but am aware of the drought at present!
Thank you
