Display problems (ATI R9250)

[Rodéric]

I have problems with that card, every once in a little while (say 15-20 minutes), the screen goes black for a very short time (<1s), with latest drivers, and a good PSU (520W)...

Anyone idea what can be wrong ?
(Previous video card in same computer worked flawlessly.)

The only time where this type of blackout is normal is during the "SmartGart" self test. This should only happen once at the end of the boot process, and not again while Windows is running.

If the card does it all the time it may be faulty.
