Update: No confirmed diagnosis but the PC is being shipped out for repair and will return within a couple of weeks. If I open it up, my warranty with ASUS will be voided. Bummer.

Unfortunately, any poking around will void ASUS's warranty. Then again, the amount of trouble (and I believe some cost) of sending it to them for repair may not be worth it if it's near certain to be...

If so, is this a danger to other components in the PC? I assume I should discontinue use until I get the PSU replaced.

UPDATE: I tried unplugging the power cord and holding the power button for 60 seconds. That worked and I'm using the PC right now. But I'm still wondering what the source of the issue is.



I...

In December I bought a gaming PC. It turned out to have a defective GPU, so I exchanged it for the same model at the store. That model seemed to be in working order until yesterday when I got a...

Okay. I'll update this thread as soon as I get the PSU installed. We'll see if that works. I decided I will keep this whether it turns out to be a power issue or not. Doesn't hurt to have a great...

I purchased it using an Amazon Canada gift card, actually. Do they just credit it back?

Thanks for the info. Looks like I've got more than enough time, but even if I didn't, I could go to MSI...

Right. Indeed. It's just confusing to me how with the MBDD works so much better than the 390 drivers. It failed once, after some hours. As soon as I install the 39 drivers, bam! The fans turn off in...

Hmmm...

Can someone tell me why using the Windows Basic Display Driver works better? I've had it fail too once, but after hours of staying stable at the desktop. Installing the 390 drivers craters...

Okay. Because I even tried the older/non-beta drivers from the AMD website. Nothing seems to work. If no one can think of a cause more likely than faulty hardware, I will RMA it.

Okay. Much appreciated. Then I guess all there is to do is exchange the card? No software solutions seem to be working.

Hey SexyColdNoodle,

Thank you for this recommendation! This is the one I will purchase, if I'm needing a new PSU. So these problems I'm having are likely down to the PSU being insufficient, then?...

Aha! Interesting.

I bought it from a company that sells through Amazon Canada. They refer to Amazon's return policy, so hopefully, they can exchange it with no issues.

Right now I am just...

I installed the card thinking I could remove the 270x drivers and then install the 390 drivers. So I tried what you said and uninstalled the 270x driver from DM. I also uninstalled the 390 driver...

Hello, all :)

I just purchased an MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB to replace my 270x, but I'm having trouble with installation. That is, I've put it in the PCIE x16 slot and connected the power cables from...
