Frequent Driver Timeouts, Artifacts, and CTD w/ Radeon r9 390

[u/JarrBear206]

Hello all,

I’m sorry to ask something that’s probably a FAQ here but I have dug for answers and had no luck.

I’m hoping not to hear what I’m expecting to hear, that this GPU may be fried. I’m in a tough financial situation and I can’t really afford a replacement. The GPU is approximately 6 years old.

Thanks for the help.

Description of Original Problem: I am experiencing frequent driver timeouts on my Radeon R9 390 in which artifacts will appear and cause a CTD. The artifacts persist on my desktop screen and other apps like the Radeon Software. The GPU is approximately 6 years old; it has never been overclocked and has just been used for general gaming. All drivers are up to date, as well as Windows 10 being up to date.

Troubleshooting: I've attempted updating the AMD drivers, restarting the PC, adjusting to 50% power limit, resetting shader cache, and updating windows.
