Help! AMD driver has stopped responding and has recovered.

[OsamaBinTaliban]

Hi all,
I've recently (2 weeks ago) built a new rig, once i started playing games, so far dota 2, COD ghost and hearthstone, i've been getting the message that my driver has stopped responding and has recovered at intervals of about 20 minutes when playing games.

I have tried updating graphics driver to the latest but it did not help. I've even went down to Corbell Technology (graphics card distributor) which they helped me test my MSI r9 280x and the problem did not occur on testing there.

My rig:
i5-4570
MSI r9 280x O.C TG GAMING 3GB DDR5
MSI B85M-G42
SUPERFLOWER HX-600W
G SKILL 8GB DDR3
WIN 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 BIT

Bought and built at PC Themes

I've been really annoyed by the constant crashes and hope someone can provide me with a solution, have been reading many forums but have yet to find a solution.

Cheers!

I dun help terrorist.

since it's a new system, try to re-seat the ram and make sure it is tightly secured.

Did you Overclocked your Card? If so turn it back to the original settings.

If you did not overclock your card. Reinstall drivers from AMD websites.

If you have tried installing drivers from the CD provided, please uninstall that and download it from AMD website.

Just update your MSI bios.
