I updated to crimson drivers few days ago and was playing syndicate with my 7850, suddenly there was strange artifacts and the computer turned off itself. I couldn't restart the PC immediately so I had to switch the power supply off and turn on to boot the PC again. Upon booting there was artifacts all over BIOS and the windows failed to boot after showing some metallic artifacts. The crimson drivers literally fried my GPU while playing. I'm using the sapphire edition 7850 2 GB. Is there any way to fix this ?
Hello,
Crimson may have capped your GPU fan speed, before you revert back the drivers, benchmark the unit and monitor the GPU with afterburner for temps, fan speed and GPU usage if you can. Hope this helps.
