Freezing, Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 380 4GB

[transmaster]

I am wondering does anyone else have a freezing problem that is using a Radeon GPU. I have a Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 380 4GB. I have random freezing and I have not been able to figure out what is causing it. I have used diagnostic tools on the GPU and it tests out just fine, the event viewer does not show anything related to the GPU. I have to reboot the computer to clear it. It does this randomly during movie playback with on board files, Youtube playing on the PC, and when I am doing continuous file management. I can’t reliably repeat it is totally random. It goes without saying I have all of the latest updates. The debugging log does not show anything. It isn’t a BSOD so my Whocrashed log does not show anything. This is the first Radeon GPU I have run in years and over all I am very pleased with it.

Environment
Windows 10 Spring Edition.

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard.

AMD FX-9590 8-core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Black Edition Desktop Processor.

ADATA XPG V1 DDR3 1600MHz (PC3 12800) 16GB (8GBx2)

Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 380 4GB GPU.


Right now is not a good time to purchase a new GPU with all the people crypto-mining.

Damn miners....is it freezing only with video playback or normal desktop work also? I would try to pull the card and run onboard graphics to narrow down the problem.

Try older version of driver see if that's stable, sometimes latest driver breaks things.

It has been freezing since the beginning. I don’t have an onboard GPU. With the Windows 10 spring edition it Has not had a freeze up. Radeon had an update about the same time. Fixed??? We will see.
