Hi everyone, new around here, but have been running through the forums looking for answers here and everywhere for my problem... without any answers.
So here goes: I bought a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 last week and ever since I've installed it my PC has been restarting when I try to play any game - from World of Tanks to Crysis 3. I tried a solution some friend told me which consisted on underclocking the GPU to 900 MHz. It restarted. I tried 800 MHz. It restarted.
My system it's as follows:
AMD FX 8120 3.1GHz 8-Core PCU
Seagate 1TB SSHD
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5
16GB RAM Corsair
550Watt PSU.
Please help me with this, I'm getting really frustrated. I can tell for sure it isn't a bad hardware issue because I know 2 more people who had this error with the same graphics card. But their solution was to set the clock to 1000 MHz and everything was fine.
