My computer works just fine without the card. I've only had this card for about 1.5 years, and I was wondering if the thermal compound (arctic silver 5) might have killed it, or if it just died for seemingly no reason. This happened a year before and I was able to clean it up and get it working again, however, after I cleaned it, it still wouldn't work. The last stable driver for these users appears to be 16.11.5. I've spotted the occasional user with a similar issue to me, the specific case is that on some 390s, post relive drivers are causing various issues (in my case, an intermittent crash generally under load). I figured that the thermal compound dripped onto the resistors and other components surrounding the gpu die, and that's what happened. Looking for other people with R9 390 issues on post relive/16.11.5 drivers. Even if I booted windows in safe mode it would go black again. I tried rebooting my PC, the monitor would turn on normally then a green bar would appear on the left side of the screen, then it would either go black or ask me to launch windows in safe mode. I was playing a game and walked out of my room for a few minutes and when I came back my monitor was black. My R9 390 just kicked the bucket the other day and I want to know if there is anything I can do to fix it before I shell out cash to buy another gpu of similar performance (these inflated prices suck).
