Hello everyone, I have a radeon r9 280x from asus dc2 and i never had a problem up untill 1 month ago (apart from some bsods with flash during the last year ) During the last month I've been experiencing a weird issue when I'm booting up the pc (particularly in the Welcome screen of win7 after the black screen of windows loading) and after the pc has been sleeping for a while. I get lots of artifacts and colors that go gradually away after about 5/7 seconds or so and then everything will keep on working fine in any game/any app without a hitch. Neither stress testing with furmark and prime at the same time will cause any issue whatsoever in the temperatures or the stability of this pc. The gpu, which has a tiny oc to 1125 core, 1600 memory and +20% powerlimit under heavy stress reaches and stays at 75° C without problems. The cpu i7 920 d0 (oc'd 3.8ghz, no HT) stays at around 65° C under prime95 or occt stress tests. After those 5 seconds of artifacts the pc has no issues in any application i throw at it. I have a BENQ xl2411t, working at 144hz and connected with dvi-d, which, in my opinion, has no issues aswell as it doesn't create artifacts during any circumstance and i also tried to switch off/on during the artifacts and the loading purple screen of the monitor with BENQ logo was free of artifacts, after the BENQ logo windows showed up with still a few artifacts that disappeared shortly after. I tried changing drivers, as i thought this issue might be correlated to the fix they applied to the black screen after wake that i believe was implemented with the 14.12 omega, but it didn't help. Specifically i tried the 14.6 (which are awesome for me), 14.12 15.4 and 15.5 and all had the same issue. The problem doesnt show up during safe mode or before windows has loaded the drivers (no artifacts in bios etc). I also tried to change the dvi port used on the card but that didn't solve it. What I didn't try was to change the dvi cable as atm i don't have a spare one and they are quite pricy (so i could do that, if some more people thought it was worth a try). I never had a problem with this card and even this one, i'm not sure it's the card as it runs anything (and hella good, included tw3 all ultra, foliage on high and hairworks off at around 50fps, smooth in fullscreen not so much in borderless fullscreen, microstutters, even if the fps are the same for some odd reason :X) I attach my dxdiag incase somebody wants to give it a look Spoiler ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 6/4/2015, 13:24:13 Machine name: HYPER-PC Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_rtm.101119-1850) Language: Italian (Regional Setting: Italian) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: BIOS Date: 09/21/10 09:55:06 Ver: 08.00.15 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz Memory: 10240MB RAM Available OS Memory: 10230MB RAM Page File: 2644MB used, 17814MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 32bit Unicode ------------ DxDiag Notes ------------ Display Tab 1: No problems found.

it is a really strange issue because after those 5 seconds are passed the pc will not have any problems.
It doesn't seem that this card has a dual bios switch. A 7950 vapor-x from sapphire does (my gf has that). I usually disable any dynamic "boost" mode that i've no control over anyway. Right now i'm thinking that after the wake/boot it doesn't get quick the right amount of current, but this is just pure speculation as I don't know much about that.
Maybe the memory clock goes crazy during boot and cause that. Check the ASUS support page of your GPU and see if there is a new bios.
I'll do that right away and I'm also going to check the voltage during the issue with msi afterburner. Strange that the card has worked fine for all this time up untill a month ago. I tried swapping the psu cables to the card and ofc i tried taking away the oc / disabling afterburner all together etc but nothing helped.
