Brand new 290x memory clock stuck

Hi guys, I'm absolutely at a loss with this one so I'm reaching out in the hope that someone can help.

Basically I've just bought a MSI 290X Gaming and am having issues getting it to mine, hopefully it's something I'm doing wrong but I'd tried for hours now with no luck. As the topic title suggests the memory clock seems to be stuck at 150mhz when I try to mine anything giving me around 17khash or something stupid, I've seen many different numbers but nothing over 70.

The core clock goes up to the normal max (1030mhz) and so does the memory clock (1250mhz) while gaming, when attempting to mine however it just sits there at 150mhz. I've tried forcing the card to stay at the standard clocks but it still gets the ridiculously low hash rate.

Well there's my issue, hopefully one of you smart folks has seen this before or something similar and can show me the error of my ways.

Thanks
