MSI R9 280x 3gb GAMES CRASH AND LINES DOWN MY SCREEN

I have been using the MSI r9 280x for sometime now, possible 7months and all has been good untill the other day; Playing CSGO My screen went to a set of lines running down and and a loop of the last noise I heard was playing over and over.
Only a hard restart of my PC would solve the issue; this occurred when also playing Wolfenstein: The New Order and Skyrim (tends to be high intensity games).
I have cleaned out my GPU, all of my fans, have tried to play these games on the older drivers and latest drivers and still the problem occurs.
It manages to last maybe 5minutes when I have my fans on 100%. I haven't overclocked or underclocked by GPU but still have the issue. I know it can possible be a GPU problem as I tested my GPU with furMark. As soon as I started a 1080p benchmark, my PC froze instantly and lines all down my screen again.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core 3.5
CPU Cooler: H100i Water Cooler
GPU: MSI Radeon r9 280x 3gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
PSU: Modular CX750M ATX Power Supply - Bronze
RAM: (4x2) 8GB Kingston 1333hz DDR3
PC Case: Corsair Air 540 (2 basic fans at the front, 120mm corsair at the back)
PLEASE PLEASE I really need help on this, thank you!

Thank you for the Advice.
I ran into a second problem this morning, when on start-up or even loading Google chrome, the same problem occurred with lines all down my screen yet again.
I am currently using my old GPU (Radeon HD 7770) and I am able to run CSGO; Wolfenstein etc on high intensity without my PC crashing or this problem occurring, leading me to believe that it must be my GPU.
My r9 280x runs at around 45C when idle, and sometimes that's even when my fans are running at 75-100% speed. Looking online I found that the Average Idle temp should be around 34C; something is wrong here :(
I'm not sure if there are any other measurements you need me to take to make sure that yes 100% it is my GPU. But looking at it how it is, unfortunately it is.
Any more ideas, suggestions would be really helpful thank you!

Vertical shifting screen after installing MSI R9 280x

Hello,
Just bought and installed a (new) MSI R9 280x 3G card, downloaded all drivers etc from website and it runs fine. It runs fine except my screen now and then shifts verticaly.
Don't know how or why.
Tried my old card (MSI HD 6580 Cyclone) wich still works fine. Tried different cable, but still the same problem (with new card offcourse). Tried changing hz on my Philips 273EQH, but without succes.
My system:
i5 2500k
AS Rock Z68 Pro
Cooler Master Silent Pro 600w
Scyte Mugen 3
2x4 Ram
Windows 7
Please help with some advice.
Thank you.

If you do not know how to even check the answer is most likely no. It is an asrock board so check the asrock site for the latest version and see what your bios lists as current version when entering. Otherwise contact asrock

2d Screen Flickering - MSI R9 280X TwinFrozr OC 3GB (R9 280X GAMING 3G)

Hello,
OS: Win 8.1 - 64bit
GFX: MSI R9 280X TwinFrozr OC 3GB (R9 280X GAMING 3G)
GPU-Z:
2d flickering, it seems, when it downclocks to 300Mhz, the screen starts flickering, and can't run games in 2d mode without flickering. The GFX is perfectly fine playing games in full screen.
Any ideas, folks?
I'm sure that changing the clock to 450Mhz default would fix this, or perhaps 500Mhz, but I don't know how I should do that, and maybe there is another fix for this.
Bios Attached as well: mega.co.nz/#!bt5XiSAa!6d07jJRFNM4lT3zWDAmyGnqTo-V4zsqZe4FW5LZEdz0
Thanks!

I know this has been longer than 60 days. However I just wanted to post my fix for others in case its searched for. This has been so frustrating to figure out. My fix has been a variety of things such as clean installs of the drivers MANY MANY times. The final time I reinstalled the ATI's CCC driver 14.7 beta. I noticed that I unknowingly (by ignorance not action) installed MSI's version of CCC from there website as well. After (not) installing MSI's version on top it seemed to help but the clock speeds still fluctuated from 300MHZ- to the max 1020MHz continuously. After looking in the CCC I saw an option that caught my eye. "Alternate DVI Operational Mode" is checked by default on both screens options. So I unchecked it...applied changes.... VIOLA no more flicker and clock speeds have been stable for the past 5 hours. I however have not restarted my computer for fear it will return and I throw the computer out the window. This is atleast worth an attempt if you have the dreaded "Flicker" of the R9 280X.
For information my setup is as follows:
M/B- MSI A88X-G45 Gaming
processor: AMD A10-7850K (AMD A series black edition APU) w/ r7 200 series
2 (cheap @ around 120$ each) Monitors- Acer (G246HL) and LG (22M45) 60Hz running at 1920x 1080
PSU: (Cheap 35$) 600W
HDD: 1TB (Master) and 2TB (slave) seagate SATA drives
VIDEO: MSI R9 280x 3gb Video card
Issue noticed: Flicker when running either one or two (Extended screen) monitors usually while browsing, schoolwork, or watching netflix (2D actions???) and less but still during StarCraft 2 game play. tried just about every forums suggestions except the one about changing a register key profile.
Outcome of above suggestions: Relief....so far (6 hours later)

MSI R9 280x temperatures

Hi, I have a MSI r9 280x so I have been playing quite a few games, I used msi afterburner to see the temps in game, and here's what I got, at idle on windows screen the temps were 41degrees to 44degrees, in game it was upto 98 degrees, (the games were project cars and dmc5) my main question is should I be worried about this? Cuz obviously 98 degrees cant be good for your card, any suggestions? Thankyou

you can try to reseat the heatsink and to apply a new thermal paste
[assume if that will not void your warranty, you can ask your reseller or near MSI office if you can do this: >>How to contact MSI.<<]
else RMA the card..

MSI R9 280x problems

Hello i have just gotten a new MSI R9 280x with building a new pc, when i installed all the drivers part from the GPU ones everything was fine, but when i installed the GPU drivers it started to crash such as "Display has crashed and restored" and sometimes it would just come up with a blue screen saying 0x00000116 error.
Now i was thinking its my GPU drivers so i try to install the newest ones and that does not work, still have the same problem
I also tried installing new motherboard drivers and bio's drivers and still nothing. So i would want to know is my GPU broken or my motherboard because everything for my motherboard has been working fine and as soon as i install GPU drivers i start having problems. I have tried to use the integrated graphics and that was working fine (This was when i took the GPU out my pc) with all the drivers for that working fine
PLease help me because i really dont know what to do

MSI R9 280X Twin Frozr Editon Problem can anyone shed light on it please?

Hi everyone i hope i am posting this in the right thread as i currently am in a bind.
My card has given me a white screen again, this makes it 2 times now this week and i am wondering what my options are here as i have no second card to use and cant be without my PC and be without gaming.
it happened when i closed down a game and once while alt tabbing a screen.
After a reset it is back to normal no white screen.
From what i can see it is not overheating the fans are turning it has been seated well and i have not over clocked it at all with the MSI gaming program and the driver are up to date.
What would you guys think is going on? do you think it is an RMA for me.
Thanks in advance for the help everyone.

MSI Z87 G45 + MSI R9 280X + Windows 8.1 secure boot difficulties

After updating to Windows 8.1 Pro I had the "Secure Boot isn't configured properly" watermark as many others. I determined my disk is GPT partitioned, I enabled UEFI on the GPU by moving the physical switch from the 2 position to the 1 position, and enabled Windows 8 Feature + Secure Boot with standard settings in the G45 bios (ver 1.5). After doing save and reboot I'm presented with a blank screen with my monitor showing a "DVI no input" message. I reset the CMOS to allow me to boot again, but after a couple more tries with the secure boot settings such as enabling/disabling Fast Boot I have not been able to get it to work.
System:
MSI Z87 G45
8GB DDR3 1600mhz Crucial ram

I want to know the same thing. I bought a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard this month and I can't activate Secure Boot on it because it's still in Setup Mode. I have no idea how to put the motherboard into User Mode and Google doesn't help me much further either. How to activate a key? I have a I5-5670K and GTX 770 by the way.

MSI R9 280X Gaming 6GB Issue

I've purchased this card about a month ago from Newegg and it's been great so far. The only problem that i have is when navigating through windows. Maybe it's just from using my browser but I've notice the screen to flicker when i'm in the browser scrolling or watching videos. I have turned off hardware acceleration, used MSI drivers, beta drivers, and the latest drivers but this still happens from time to time. I don't think the card is an issue itself because i do not notice this when I'm in game. I believe the R9 280x 6GB that i have comes with the latest vbios already so i am not too sure if MSI currently has anything to remedy this issue. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue with R9 cards. So not sure if it is the R9 line of cards itself, the drivers provided by AMD, or the bios installed on the cards. RMA won't fix this issue as it is a widely known problem throughout all manufacturers of this line of cards.

Yeah, I got the same issue. Windows 8.1Pro (64bit). Same card (6GB).
If I'm on the desktop and I leave a game running in the background and sometimes when using the browser displaying videos and/ or flash video ads, I get what looks like a screen shift. The picture flickers or jars upward/ downward. It reminds me of something you might have seen on an old CRT monitor when you hit the degauss button, but not quite as bad. It's like some kind of vertical screen refresh or something and looks like someone smacking your monitor from the top while you are using it. The only way I know how to fully re-produce it, at will, is by running my Unigine Valley benchmark in the background and then proceeding to do things on the desktop. It's definitely not heat related because my GPU temp can be at 33c or lower and still doing it. If I leave my Elder Scrolls Online game running in a background, depending on what's happening in the game, it can do it in this scenario too.

MSI R9 280X Appears as Radeon HD 7900??

Hi all. I just replaced my 7950 card with an MSI R9 280X card and now my system still shows that that card is a Radeon HD 7900 series card. I already removed and completely uninstalled the old drivers, rebooted, and installed the latest Catalyst driver and the system still shows the card as a Radeon HD 7900 series card. Can someone please help? Also, how do I know if I have the latest version of the BIOS? And how do I access the BIOS? My machine has UEFI.
Here's my GPU-Z screenshot.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not able to create a bootable USB disk using the HP tool.. when I select make boot disc and point to the win98 folder and click start.. it simply formats the drive and refuses to make the disk bootable or put any files in there.. it's just empty.. :( Is there any other tool I can use? Please help, thanks.
It should be impossible not to get it done with the HP tool. Follow the guide. Try an alternate usb stick if no dice. Also be aware that you can't see system files on the stick unless you set in Windows to make those visible so the stick might appear "empty" while it is successfully created a bootstick.

Also, so each of my three monitors has HDMI and DVI.. so how would I go about connecting them to the ports behind the 280X? In which order and when to use the adapter?
One of the three screens needs to be connected pure dP or active dp to dvi which one doesn't matter. You simply can't just connect three screens via DVI/HDMI to one card.

And I have one more card that I added (to Crossfire it).. can I please get the BIOS for it? The serial number is: 602-V277-28SB1311071xxx
Use >>this<<

Does the BIOS switch on the 280X have to to be 1 or 2 when flashing BIOS?
1 (as it came out of the box) because 2 is backup.

Temperature for MSI r9 280x Twin Frozr

Hi everyone. Hope you can help me . I just bought an msi r9 280x twi frozr 4 the OC version. My pc is the following : i
5 2500k running at stock speed with stock cooler
MB Asus P8h61-m LX (im gonna change it i know its bad)
8 gigs of ram
1 ssd of 120Gb and 1 hdd 1Tb
power source is a sirtec 750W (bronze)
Case is zalman z3 plus (only one fan connected, the one thats in the back of the case for airflow)
So, in catalyst (last drivers) i have like 44 45 degrees C in idle !
In furmark i get like 84 degrees C but i ve heard thats normal for a stress test
When i play demanding games (Dragon Age Inquisition, high\ultra) i get like 67 68 degrees C with fans set to auto from catalyst)
I dont like the idle temperature. It could be possible that my card is already OC'ed ? I didnt buy it from a store i bought it from a friend of mine.
If it's OC'ed, how can i check this ? If its not OC'ed, what should i do about the seemingly high idle temperature ? Thank you !

All temps are normal (including idle), nothing to worry and nothing to do.

MSI R9 280X BF4 3GB SWITCH DVI TO HDMI???

Hi All
It has been quite a while since I have been in this forum, My old profile seems to have vanished maybe due to lack of login so I have re-registered
I am still running my trusty old 990FXA-GD80 mobo (see sig) & today I just received an MSI R9 280X BF4 3GB graphics card, I installed it & did not get any signal via the HDMI output so I found a VGA cable & DVI adaptor & connected it to the TV (Sanyo 42" LCDd) via the VGA input & it booted up fine & I was able to install the drivers & AMD catalyst etc software
I typically run MSI Geforce graphics cards so the AMD Radeon in depth options & menus etc is fairly new to me, Normally I would connect a GTX card & it would simply recognise the HDMI connected monitor or TV & all would be good but for some reason I am unable to get the HDMI output going at all?
I have both cables - DVI to VGA & HDMI to HDMI connected between the TV & graphics card
I might just have to buy a DVI to HDMI cable in the morning & see how that goes?
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Nichrome
Yes it is currently connected to a 42" LCD TV, It may not be easy to get hold of a monitor with HDMI input on loan to test either
I will be able to connect my brand new LG 60" LED LCD 3D (60LB6500) TV tomorrow & see if the HDMI will work that way? (The new LG only has HDMI inputs as far as I can find but I will know for sure tomorrow?) It may just be the older 42" LCD TV not playing the game, If the new LG 60" does not work via the HDMI output then its onto the other options........>
The previous Geforce drivers & software was completely removed before the Radeon install but I do agree it may be an issue & a clean install via driver fusion might be needed?
The current or latest drivers I could find is> 14.501.1003
I originally installed the latest drivers from the MSI site & could not find the option to connect via HDMI so I went to the AMD site hoping to fix the issue with new AMD drivers
The audio runs direct to a receiver via SPDIF so for me there is no real need for HDMI output unless it is going to be a better quality option?
From what I have read the quality or performance should not really be any different between the DVI & HDMI output so it should not be any major trouble to buy a DVI to HDMI cable? Any opinions

How to undervolt MSI R9 280x for Linux? VBE has no effect on cards

Hi!
Does someone know, how to lower the core voltage for a MSI R9 280x under Linux? I have 2 cards. The old one is a s/n 602- V277 -28SB (great!) and the second one is a s/n 602- V277 -38SB (bad!).
I tried with VBE on my Windows-machine and set the voltage in the "State 1 - Performance" tab to 1062 for #6 and #0. After flashing the modded bios Vgpu is still at 1200 mV when measured directly on the card with a multi meter. Power consumption at the wall is 270 Watts. However, GPUz shows 1062 mV. Afterwards I set the voltage to -100 in Afterburner. The card now reads 1097 mV and the power consumption dropped to 235 Watt.
I have no idea why the card ignores the VBE settings. Any advice would be appreciated.

You are lucky, on my 28SB I can't boot after any change from 1200mV, even with 1193mV
