Problem with freezing on R9 295x2 graphics card.
Problem with freezing on R9 295x2 graphics card.
Hey there, salutations. I attempted to resolve this issue by testing various power supply cables and motherboard slots. I used both WHQL and non-WHQL drivers, cleaned the card a few months ago, and ran a driver checkup. After installing it, the PC started smoothly until I disabled one of the graphics cards in Device Manager. It functioned temporarily, but then it would freeze for a few seconds—sometimes 3 to 10 seconds—before restarting and audio issues would appear. Overall, it’s a frustrating experience with the motherboard model you mentioned.
You mentioned needing two video cards, is that right? I’m not familiar with "assalamu alaikum"—it’s a common greeting in Arabic. Besides the CPU, RAM, and motherboard, could you explain what you’re aiming to achieve with your system? Also, please share the full specifications so we can better understand your setup and help you find a solution. Good luck!
السلام عليكم، لقد وصلت رسالة ترحيبية. لديك جهازين من معالجات، لكنهما في نفس وحدة GPU. هو AMD R9 295x2، وهو جهاز واحد فعليًا الآن. هذا يعني أن معالجين R9 290 مدمجين على لوحة دائرية واحدة ومغلفين في حلقة تبريد مائي. بخصوص الأجهزة الكاملة، لدي CPU i5 4690 بذاكرة DDR3 بسرعة 1866 ميجاهرتز، وقرص SSD Samsung 512 جيجابايت من نوع Hyper FuryX، ومصدر طاقة Gigabyte Z97 D3H. ما أحاول فعله هو فقط جعله يعمل. عندما أبدأ التشغيل مع بطاقة الرسوميات، يتجمد بعد تسجيل الدخول عادة في 10-15 ثانية.
They are two cards combined into one physical card. You can't just use one. I attempted to turn off one via Device Manager, but it triggered an Open GL error and nothing else functioned properly. Also, when the GPU is off, the system runs smoothly for extended periods without any problems.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I've never encountered anything like this before. Keep learning each day. Your kind words mean a lot. Wishing you a pleasant weekend. Stay safe and good luck.
The reply begins with "Wa Alaikumassalam," meaning peace be upon you. The message continues to express understanding and camaraderie. It describes a failed attempt by AMD to surpass the GTX 1080 Ti, highlighting issues with their crossfire technology and the card's inefficiency. The sender finds the card overly power-hungry and wasteful, considering it mainly decorative now. They recount discovering an 8 GB water-cooled card for a fraction of the price, realizing it was a poor deal. The current RX 580 outperforms it significantly while using less power, which the sender regrets as a financial loss due to budget constraints.
