We need more details.
When does this happen, what drivers are you using,are they overclocked and what are your specs?

 

[Hammo1]

not over clocked most current drivers from catalyst and seems to happen when im playing games I have a z97-a board ax860i psu i5 4690 2 r9 280x vapor x cards

 

[barnsley]

Most current drivers doesn't mean anything. Seriously.

Latest Beta Driver 306 MB 14.7 Beta 7/10/2014 Download so that sound like the latest one ?

 

[barnsley]

Go for Catlayst software suite.

 

[Hammo1]

yeah that's 14.4 the suite

 

[barnsley]

Install it then .
14.4 has been pretty decent to me thus far. Only issues I've had are probably down to my own fault.

 

[Hammo1]

ok thank you heaps mate I really appricate it

 

[barnsley]

Hope its all sorted

 

[Hammo1]

im getting frustrated with this lol I have done a clean sweep and deleted every part of my graphics drivers and im still getting display driver amd stopped responding and has recovered so im going to try and go a lower amd catalyst suite 13.9 or something because ever since 14.4 iv had issues has anyone got the step by step instructions for clearing the old drivers again please?

 

[barnsley]

Here you go.

 

[Hammo1]

ok well I have completely uninstalled everything to do with graphics and phys x im running an older amd catalyst suite and seems ok atm and thank you Barnsley

Try checking the card slots to see if anything is lose or even the ram, CPU pins, PSU etc, there quite a lot of potential problems. Perhaps you could try underclocking the cards first and see if the problem persists.


EDIT: please ignore my post, clicked 1 minute late.
