New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

Just to give you an update, I RMAd the mobo for a new one, and switched to a different GPU (Gigabyte GTX650 Ti Boost GDDR5-2GB), also did a fresh install of Windows 8 on the first boot - installed all drivers from included CDs - restarted - did Windows updates - restarted - and now everything...

New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

I took another look and realized it wasn't another PCI-e slot, so I can't really put the GPU in there after all. I just have to assume it was a GPU problem and send it back, but I'm also going to send back the motherboard. I'm going to get the motherboard replaced for another one of the same...

New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

I can use integrated on board graphics with no problem whatsoever (I just can't play any 3D games of course). I also had no problems with the GPU before I installed any drivers - but the computer simply wasn't using or recognizing the GPU anyway and was just using on board graphics in that case...

New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

Okay, when I get home from work I'll try the GPU in the other PCI-e slot (I'll have to take apart the computer almost completely to try this), and see if I get the same issues as before. But what if I do this, and the bottom PCI-e slot gets me the same result, and I still get the same crashes...

New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

Now it's acting a bit different. I reinstalled the latest beta drivers again, and now games will run fast like they should (first time it's ever done that), but I'm still getting the "display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered" error and the computer will still crash. *sigh*...

New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

Thank you. And it'll act up more when I'm doing something than if the computer is just sitting there. Perhaps it's a driver issue, or a tiny chance it's a RAM issue. I'll try checking my RAM as a last resort, though I don't have any CDs to burn anything to and I tried the USB method and couldn't...

Would a bad PCI-e slot be causing the GPU to be detected but still running games slowly? I don't quite understand :(

Uninstalled the drivers completely again, and reinstalled the old drivers from the CD that came with the GPU. Computer doesn't even utilize the GPU at all, and it shows up as an error driver in Device Manager. Going to try updating to a newer driver (ver12.11).

Thanks for narrowing it down that it's probably not the PSU. As for the PCI-e slot, I can't say because it would seriously take me a couple of hours and I'd have to unplug everything, then use the computer as a Frankenstein machine to put in the GPU in the other PCI-e slot (it'd never go in the...

New AMD GPU issues (display driver amd has stopped responding and has recovered)

It's the first time I've built a computer, but everything worked fine before worrying about the GPU (Gigabyte AMD Radeon R7 260x). When I hook up everything to the motherboard without the GPU, it works fine, but I just can't play any 3D games because they're too slow. Here's a list of the rest...
