Just replaced AMD 6870 with AMD R9 390 getting constant BSODs

When I start some games, I get BSOD "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" and have to manually restart. Usually happens within 2 minutes of starting the game, often sooner. I've got all the recent drivers, Windows 10 home, X58 Pro-E (MS-7522) motherboard, AMD R9 390.

It has freezing and then BSOD with Starcraft 2 and Wolfenstein New Order, but has no problem with Assassin's Creed Black Flag or Bioshock Infinite (all of these on ultra/max graphics settings).

Looking into the device event viewer for my GPU, it says it's working but I've got numerous events stating

"Device PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_67B1&SUBSYS_20151462&REV_80\4&3aa91971&0&0018 could not be migrated.

Event 441

See attached file

The only new things are the graphics card and its related drivers, my last one was AMD 6870 so it had CCC, I uninstalled the drivers in safe mode and reinstalled the latest one CCC which supposedly was a fix for Windows 10 issues, I guess I'm having trouble figuring out if it's a Windows 10 or AMD Driver issue, and whichever it is, what to do about it.

I also benchmarked it using userbenchmark.com and there was no crash and it was able to give it a grade (a good one). Also forced the fans on the GPU and it was 34 C during the crash I had that going, so doubt it's overheating.

Hi rspradley,

Welcome to the 10forums.

The 0xEF(CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED) has some causes, like hard drive damage, memory problems, software interfering, CPU problems and some other things.
Please follow the instructions below to start with.

Please try the following:

• Open taskmanager
  
  • Go to the tab startup
  • disable everything
• Search msconfig and open it
  
  • Go to the tab services
  • Check 'hide microsoft services'
  • Uncheck all other services
  • Click apply and click ok
• Reboot if asked

See if the problem persist, if the problem does not persist enable in the startup tab in taskmanager 1 item and in the services tab in msconfig also 1 service, reboot and see if the problem persist. Keep doing this until you find the culprit or there is nothing left.
If the problem still persist, try booting in safe mode and see if the problem still persist.

How to fill in your system specs:

What AMD driver version are you using? I am still using 15.7.1 . There is also 15.8. Take note that 15.9 and 15.10 are both beta versions.

Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD

Just finished uninstalling with DDU and reinstalling the AMD 15.7.1 drivers, still had BSOD first seconds after loading SC2 and Wolfenstein.

Some additional info - when I was examining the temps (I used SpeedFan 4.51) my remote temp is 72C. I never checked this before I had problems so I don't know if it's always been like that or not.

Local temp -56C; Remote 72C; Temp 1 38C; Temp 2 56C; Temp 3 45C; HD0 36C; GPU 45C; Core 0 47C; Core 1 44C
The Remote temp corresponds to Chip LM84 Intel SMBus, as does the Local temp

But it can handle an hour of Infinite but not even 30 seconds sometimes of SC2... without the GPU temp going up for either, so I'm not really convinced it's overheating, at least not the GPU, but I don't know how to interpret that Remote temp value. Re-installing some other games to see if any of them have problems too. (Metro Last Light, Arkham Asylum both fine) Uninstalling then reinstalling both Wolfenstein and SC2 and seeing if tweaking any of their settings will fix it, though being a BSOD it seems like it would be more than just the games causing it..
