Anyone know what code "EE" is about? I'll be playing a video game and after about an hour my screen goes black I check the motherboard it says "EE" and I have to hard reset...

    The manual wasn't much help... "Reserved for future AMI error codes"

    In my experience if that happens it's been the PSU.

    Looks like you got youself a nice rig there. What power supply are you using? I would try underclocking the cards gpu clock offset & memory clock offset to max negative, and then retesting for the issue.

    To add onto what Sajin suggested, I would also try reverting any overclocks that you may have set to rule out any unstable overclocks. The fact that you get a black screen, which forces you to do a hard reset is indicative of a unstable system. 

    Keep us posted!

    Was that OC via the auto OC or one you had configured and tested?

    It was the auto OC, but granted I didn't do a proper long stress test afterwards

    It would be better to start a new thread rather than opening up a thread more than a year old.
