G'day,
 
My R9 290 runs in any other system without issues. Been using it in my 2500k system for the last 3months with not a single bluescreen (besides overclocking cpu to high). When I put it into my SR2 mobo it's bluescreen city, when I switch it out for a Nvidia card, the system is perfect.
 
So far I've tried 13.2 WHQL from AMD. I think it  has to be an AMD software driver issue, because I can boot into safe mode & I can run Prime95 all day without a single issue. Everything goes to hell after I insatall the AMD 13.2 drivers.
 
Anyone have any ideas?
 
Thanks guys

    Try 13.11 drivers, I had to use those for my R9 270 with Mining. 13.12 was giving me issues too.

    14.1 beta drivers also released today if you want to give those a try as well.

    Must be a motherboard compatibility issue then =/ contact evga support for a bios update to the SR2, or contact the manufacture of the R9 290x card and see if they can do a video bios update.

    14.1 drivers are super beta and are 100% trash.
    in BF4 I go from 150fps to 39-55 using the 14.1 vs 13.12

    13.12 are the best for gaming.
     
    Also the early sapphire 290-290x had memory or memory controller issues. More than likely you will need to contact them and get a updated card.
    PM me so I can get you the details on the memory issue when I get home.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, but the card is working perfectly in 2 separate rigs. I can 100% confirm there is some kind of compatibility issues with the SR2 & R9 290 drivers/software package.
     
    Anyway, my 290 is back in my 2500k boxen & cranking out the FPS for hours on end without a single bluescreen/issue.

    Maybe look for other firmware for the card post in sapphire forum or try another brand of 290

    Yeah I'm not so happy with sapphire - 14.1 drivers gave weird throttling, 13.12 removed that, but was still blue screening regardless of overclock for the keccak cgminer fork.  Regular cgminer was fine though.  Then I saw a weird thing that I still haven't figured out where FPS during benches and mining went to half speed when I moved the drive and GPU to my X79 dark.  Changing the drive out to another fixed the problem.  However on a different rig the same gpu and hard drive were happy.  So yeah lots of weird stuff.

    I've tried 3 differnt bios's. All exactly the same symptoms :(
     
    Got a Nvidia card in the SR2 & it's humming along without any problems. Really annoying

    I have the same issue,  I have SR-2 bios A58 with a PowerColor R9 290, (working fine on another system) using 13.251 WHQL driver.  system will randomly crash.  No OC now.  I am using a 1200W PSU, with extra PCIE power for PCI-E slots.
     
    I'm going to try and increase the PCI frequency as I read on this forum.

    I have the same problem here with my sr-2 and xfx r9 290 =(
     
    Im running windows 7 pro x64.
     
    I tried mailing support, requesting bios update but no answer.
     
    please try mailing evga support you too, maybe they respond if there is multiple requests :)

    I still haven't seen any evidence that it's a motherboard BIOS issue. What are you basing the claim that it is a motherboard BIOS issue on? If you get output on the screen when the motherboard POSTs, you have gone past the part where the BIOS has any involvement.
     
    It could be an IOMEM block allocation issue at a stretch, but the aperture size the R9 allocates is no different from earlier ATI cards. It sounds like a driver issue to me.

    I've been beating my head on this for a while, I have another newer-tech system that my R9 290x works flawlessly with, and then I have the SR-2, which is BSOD city with the 290x installed.
    I believe, based on other observations I've seen on the net, as well as my own, that the issue appears to be related to the Nforce NF200 chips, that are used on the SR-2 and seemingly on a lot of X58 enthusiast boards.
     
    The clincher for me though, in terms of finding a possible culprit, was to transplant my CPU's and memory to a surplus Intel S5520SC motherboard I picked up cheap a week ago.  The S5520SC is a dual 55xx/56xx processor motherboard, with only two x16 video slots and a few small slots, and of course fewer onboard features than the SR-2.  BUT, it is based on the 5520 chipset, and does NOT use the NF200 chips for its PCIE lanes.  And being Intel, its pretty rock solid.
     
    On that board, I have had my R9 290x setup running 100% stable for days on the latest 14.x beta driver.
     
    This begs the question whether AMD can fix this in their driver, or if there is some sort of BIOS tuning that would have to happen with the NF200's to get this resolved, or some combination of the two.
     
    I'd really like to be able to use the card on my SR-2, but don't have my hopes up that this will get resolved anytime soon, if at all.

    I have the exactly the same issue. 0xA0000001 bsod with the same driver file. I've done googling as well and found that seems really have somethin to do with the NF200. I've tried running those cards without using them in the main display by using another nVidia GTX 750 Ti and the BSOD went away completely. I'm still waiting for a permanent solution though...

    Unfortunately, I have the same issue with my R9 290x. BSOD 0xA0000001 and RSOD in some softwares too. When I´ve changed to another HD6970, the BSOD went away. A sad story to this generation AMD... time to do a RMA.

    Just out of interest - if you set your PCI memory hole size to 3GB in the BIOS and use bcdedit to mark all RAM between 1GB and 4GB as bad, does it help? NF200 bridges bypass the PCIe I/O hub for DMA transfers which leads to all sorts of unexpected weirdness, but it is usually limited to breaking VT-d support. It is plausible that the driver makes some wildly incorrect assumptions that cause the problem, and marking all of the said memory area as bad might stop any accidental memory trampling.
     
    It might be worth a shot.

    I'd love to hear if this works for anyone, I'm out of the country until another 2-3 weeks, and cant test before then, but that's an awesome suggestion.

    Hi, gordan79. I´ve followed your recommendation, but, unfortunately, BSODs 0xA0000001 and RSOD keep going. I´ll gonna try a few things before RMA this one. Thanks!
     
    Edit:
     
    What I´ve tried so far:
    - Expanding drivers from atikmdag.sy_ to atikmdag.sys in system32 = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Changing Power Limit (Afterburner or Catalyst) to 50% more = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Disabled PowerPlay and ULPS = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Enabled "constant voltage" in Afterburner = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Overvolting the 290x from 1250mV to 1350mV = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Setting up NF200 voltage to 1250mV~1400mV = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Changing PCI Frequency clock to 110Mhz = same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Undervolting and underclocking CPUs and RAMs =  same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Overvolting and Overclocking CPUs and RAMs =  same BSOD and RSOD;
    - Praying to God for a miracle = same BSOD and RSOD.
     
    So, with this, We can rest assured that: AMD made a hell of a card with a hellish problem or something happened with this particular card. I´ll try RMA it, since there isn´t any other way to test it. Thanks!
     
    Edit 2:
     
    Something came to my mind: I don´t know if it´s related, but the R9 290x automatically idles itself to PCIe 1.1 x16 when not in use, unlike the HD6970 that´s fulltime PCIe 2.0 x16 - see the attachment.

    If the card is the R9 290x, you're likely wasting your time with an RMA, I have yet to hear of anyone having success with the R9 2xx on the SR-2.  Main question is does it work in another system.  Second question is whether AMD is aware of the issue (that seems to be NF200 related), and do they care enough to try and fix it.  I tried all of the things you listed, other than gordan79's suggestion, with the same results (i.e. driver errors, BSOD, etc), but its rock solid on my other 5520 based system.  I ended up putting the S5520SC motherboard in my rig in place of the SR-2, just to be able to use it.  In the meantime I keep hoping AMD finds a way to fix the driver to work with the NF200's, but worst case scenario is some sort of fundamental HW incompatibility.
     
    The idling at PCIE 1.1 thing is interesting, very curious if there is a way to tweak the driver to not switch to the 1.1 spec.

    Once you hit the "do they care" question you have pretty much lost. I have reported numerous bugs to AMD over the past 6 years or so, and none were ever fixed. Drivers get more bloated with fewer features and ever more bugs, with nothing ever fixed.
     
    AMD are not alone in this, but they start with a much lower base line on product quality. This is why it is vitally important to do your research before spending the money, and make sure you get something that works to begin with. If it doesn't work to begin with, the chances are that it never will.

    The idling at PCIE 1.1 thing is interesting, very curious if there is a way to tweak the driver to not switch to the 1.1 spec.




    Unfortunately, I can´t test it in another pc, since my other pc is without a real psu. AMD is aware of the potential fault and yet chose to ignore it.
    Yeah, I´ve almost 100% sure the NF200 was the culprit, but something popped in my mind. Since I saw some ram chips without heatsinks, I´ve investigated it. Reporting an HD7950 Directcu II, by reviewer Damien, stated that:
    • The Radeon HD 7950 DirectCU II from Asus, only just available in stores, suffers from a fault with the fixture for its cooler that makes the GPU heat up and can rapidly lead to crashes, especially if you’re overclocking your GPU.
    • During the first part of our test protocol, on the bench table with the card in vertical position, things went fine. The first test in the casing, with the card in horizontal position, went okay as well... at least at first. After 30 minutes in load, without overclocking, and although the GPU sensor was reporting a low temperature, the system crashed. We started the test again, with the casing open, so we could observe the card temperature with our infrared camera. Surprisingly, it increased quite fast at the back of the GPU and once it had reached +/- 80 °C, which probably made softer the thermal paste used to link the cooler to the GPU, it quickly rose to over 115 °C and brought about another crash. The log of the GPU sensor however only showed 70 °C. - source: http://www.behardware.com/news/12153/asus-hd-7950-directcu-ii-fault-report.html
    So, It´s possible that my R9 290x DirectCU II has the same design flaw!
    shuyin200, an youtuber, reported He fixed his HD7950:
    • The problem is that the matrix platinum comes factory overclocked with 1650Mhz @ 1.6V on the VRAM. The Hynix memory modules are rated to run at 1500Mhz @1.5V. Since they are overvolted out of the factory they may require additional heatsinks since 4 out of 12 modules are left uncovered by the uni-sink. Most of these chips can withstand being overvolted without cooling but there are some that do. The ones that do will occasionally show artifacts in games at stock settings. - source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz2ybPrjhdw
    1.6V to a 1.5V spec? HOLY GAWD!
    So, with that, I won´t rma it anymore, but I´ll return the item (if possible) and I´ll try my luck with another brand.

    That amount of OC/OV won't make that much difference to RAM temperatures. RAM doesn't produce much heat.
