    Display driver stopped responding, new GPU
    « on: September 29, 2013, 06:56:57 AM »
    Hello.

    I've just bought a parts for my new computer. The list of all parts:
    - Intel Core i5 4670 (3.40Ghz, 6MB) BOX (CPU)
    - Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 2GB Windforce 2X OC (GPU)
    - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1000GB 64MB (hard drive)
    - XFX Core Edition PRO 550W (power supply)
    - Gigabyte GA-H87M-HD3 (motherboard)
    - Corsair ValueSelect 4GB 1600Mhz cl11 - 1.50V (RAM)


    I have installed a Windows 7 and drivers.
    Now I am having problem with my graphic card. If I am using the computer just for browsing on the internet it freezes for a few seconds and after that a message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" .. this happens every 15 - 30 minutes.
    If I run a game (in my case Stronghold 2), the game (GPU) freezes at the "start game" screen.

    I have tried these things to solve my problem:
    - installed a GPU driver from CD
    - installed a GPU driver from ATI website
    - installed a GPU driver from Gigabyte website

    Nothing worked ... still the same.


    Any ideas how can I solve my problem?  ???

    I would probably RMA the graphics card in this situation.  Different driver versions are about all you can try, really - you could try a different PCI-E slot, but you don't have any.  You could try reseating the graphics card and its power cables, but I suspect you're looking at a faulty graphics card.
