FM2A78M-HD+ MB not cooperating with A10-7870K GPU

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had FM2A78M-HD+ Motherboard for 1 year and then I decided to upgrade my CPU with a A10-7870K . The problem is that although desktop applications work mostly fine when I start any graphic application any game or any graphic stress test the graphic card driver crashes constantly and recovers after some seconds. 

I have made a clean installation of windows 7 64 bit installing only the latest AMD drivers and the problem persists. I have done a memtest and also a burnout test for the processor with prime95 which showed no error and no increased temperature. I think it looks like some incompatibility between motherboard and A!) although it is stated that they are compatible. 
I am now trying to install windows 10 to see if the gives any solution to the problem
Do you have any idea on how to fix this? 

Btw amd overdrive gives a reading for GPU temperature between 0 to 10 C. Is that correct?
thanks

	What BIOS version are you using and did you uninstall the drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) then install the latest drivers?
