Soooo I noticed it said "SICK" (R9 290) a few mins ago and thought it was weird that i had never noticed it.
Then a few mins later I saw the temp drop so i checked again and now it says "DEAD".
A full restart of the rig seems to have it back running but I don't know what would have caused it? Anyone seen this before?

Either:

1) Too high overclock.
2) Too high heat.
3) Too high intensity.
4) GPU is dying.

Did you overclocked your GPU ?
This happen to me when the card voltage is too low compared to my overclocking.

It also happens around 2-3 times a month for no reason.


Well this is the config for that particular card:

Code:

 -I 20 \
 -w 512 \
 --gpu-threads 1 \
 --thread-concurrency 32765 \
 --gpu-engine 990 \
 --gpu-memclock 1500 \
 --gpu-powertune 11 \
 --gpu-vddc 1.025 \
 --device 3 \
 --remove-disabled \
 --temp-cutoff 99 \
 --temp-overheat 95 \
 --temp-target 85 \
 --auto-fan \
 --gpu-fan 50-85

It doesnt give any HW errors like this.
It does run hot but all 290's run hot (85c - 90c, although I have seen it go over 95c once before).
It's got it's own psu to it's self.

Hope it's not on the way out, not had it long lol.
