I am having this "black screen " issue with Asus R290. Latest drivers didn't solve the issue. There is a beta driver on the AMD site, but it's older than the current drivers.
This "black screen" issue is so annoying, it rendered my computer almost useless.
I think , i found a way to replicate this "black screen " problem.
Running Heaven benchmark for almost an hour a few times didnt cause a problem.
But once i started MSI Afterburner, same benchmark caused a "black screen" .
Everytime i get a black screen or BSOD , a similar software (hwmonitor, cputem,gpu tweak ) is running. If i dont start those applications ,system works without any problem.
So i guess this is a driver problem???
you said updated the bios. what is your card exactly? I want to know cause mine is sapphire r9 290x tri-x and if there is BIOS update I missed it.I tried that. Applications don't lcok the fan control.
But i 've uninstalled all those monitoring tools, updated the bios, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest drivers, disabled Overdrive . 10 days in a row, no BSOD , no black screen.
If it is a hardware problem, it's a very tricky one. Since i can't show the error, i can't send it to RMA.
I checked the newegg cumsomer reviews. Some users just return them, and get a new card without a problem. Some users returned them a few times, and new cards have the same error .

Monitor goes to a "black screen" or turns itself off .
I did a little google search. It is a very common issue. AMD says, they are aware of the issue , and working on it. But the latest drivers still has the problem.
I did a burnintest. MSI kombustor + prime95 worked half an hour without a problem. Also memtest+ completes without errors.
This maybe a hardware issue, but so far, looks like a drivers issue. Some games work without a problem. Heaven benchmark almost always ends up with a "black screen"
20 days ago, I sent my Asus R290 to RMA .
And today , it is sent back to me, cause they didn't find any problem with it.
Thank you Asus , for manufacturing a malfunctioning card, and not taking responsibility for it.
And what am i supposed to do with this? I paid around $550 last month for it. Shall i just throw it in the garbage?
