^ is a hardware issue.The card literaly dies and even a reboot doesn't fix it, you need to cut the power to reboot.
Nothing at all to do with drivers.
RMA the card.

You don't understand, if the card won't work after a reset, and needs to be power cycled to even get a picture again, there is no possible way you can fix it.If I RMA the card they'll run a few tests, claim everything works and send it back. So I'll try to fix this myself first.
Anyway, sorry for coming out so negative, it's just frustrating to no end when 2 cards in a row are having severe issues in a few weeks and no solution in sight.
I'll update the topic if I manage to fix this.
What does any of this have to do with drivers?

If amd drivers suck then drivers suck for video cards in general (which is still my opinion although amd now has made massive strides and is in my opinion the company best positioned driver wise for the future.)Let's just admit it.. Thread Title STILL suck!
That may be. However, the HDMI signal loss issue is real though. Not sure if it's hardware or software, but it is real, there are multiple threads about it. I have it too. I had to use DP to HDMI cables to get my monitors working the way they're supposed to.

Indeed, OP should really fix it.Let's just admit it.. Thread Title STILL suck!
I'd buy a good power supply before blaming the drivers. Motherboard and PSU are the backbone of any system, if you go budget on either you're asking for trouble. Always get at least mid range on those two components if you want a stable build.ASUS MG279, Thermaltake SmartSE 630W.

No, this issue is/was specific to 480's. There is a thread on AMD community forums about it. I've tried 5 (I kid you not) different cables, and the problem never went away. There was a driver update that claimed to specifically address this problem, but I haven't a chance (or desire) to test that.I have this issue with my 290x. Turns out that I have a couple bad cables. I can move the cable from port to port on the card and the issue will remain. I can even move it from monitor to monitor (have 3) and it will follow the cable. The cables are Belkin DVI to HDMI cables and one cable is a HDMI that came with the monitor.
Changed title so people can stop being offended.
Update on the situation:
-bought Corsair rm650x
-reinstalled windows 10
-tried hdmi cable
The problem persists. Caught it on video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ZgZHtp7Qg
I sent card to RMA, they did 2x8 hours of tests plus additional gaming tests over the weekend, card works "perfectly".
At this point I have no ideas what to do anymore. Perhaps mobo could be at fault but I don't have a third card to verify it.. intel iGPU works with no noticable problems over DP.
I have seen a few people mention pcie power issues when using the RX 4xx series with particular motherboards (usually prebuilt system boards or older motherboards). What is the model of your motherboard?
Have you considered selling the RX 470 (RX prices are extremely inflated right now, do to mining)? Then you could see if you have better luck with a GTX 1060 or something.I sent card to RMA, they did 2x8 hours of tests plus additional gaming tests over the weekend, card works "perfectly".

yeah, probably not the issue then (unless the board is defective or was damaged when the other card died).asus z170a
