Is there any way to force constant voltage on boot?

Hey guys,

I've had a 290 tri-x for a few months now and every driver beyond 13.12 gives a black screen after logon or just after the windows logo -- strangely enough, 13.12 is perfectly stable and has never crashed, and performance is normal. After reading a bit it seems that the newer drivers **** up the voltage on boot to the memory and the memory up clocks before the voltage does. Is there a way to force voltage directly on boot? I'm tempted just to flash a stock bios with lower men clocks

 

Could use MSI Afterburner to drop memory clocks, there is a memory voltage slider but it's greyed out for me

 

Does that apply before logon, though? It always blackscreens right after login. Thanks though

 

Not sure, worth giving it a shot to check

It has an option of holding CTRL immediately after logon to bypass the "Apply OC at startup" option, so I guess it's pretty close to logon when it applies it

Alright, awesome I'll try flashing a stock bios first (with a dual bios and it being reference there shouldn't be a problem right?)

 

In theory, but it's a lot safer to try software methods before flashing BIOSs
