I've only been using this card for a couple of months. It's factory overclocked to 925/1050 and it just doesn't seem stable at all. Almost every game I've played (COD 4, Crysis, Borderlands, RE5) except for L4D & TF2 causes my system to hang & completely freeze forcing me to hard boot my system - even when I crank the fan up to 80-100%. On some random occasions I can play for a few hours without crashes but it happens more so than not. It must have happened at least 30 times now. When I downclock to the original 4890 speeds of 850/975 the issues seem resolved, but the point is that I paid for a factory overclocked card so I should be able to use it at least at it's factory settings. Bull****!

Anyone with this card or other 4890's had similar issues?

sorry to hear that, i have the same card and have no troubles , however a buddy (with the same card as well) can only run 9.4 drivers or his will crash.
so what drivers are you running and what os are you running?

I have the same card in my wifes machine, random crash in game to a light blue hardlock screen. This only happens in windows 7. xp and vista are flawless.

New drivers I'm betting...

Try different drivers and maybe even go try the XtremeG drivers from tweakforce... Tell us if it helps any.

I downloaded the msi overclocking tool last week and up the voltage to the max which is only a little above factory overclock and card appears more stable for longer periods of time.

what driver are you running???, the diamond cards dont seem to like 64 bit much

9.10 But I tried multiple versions with the same issues.

Hmm... Very strange, I haven't nor have heard about this problem until now. I have both my Diamond 4890 XOC's running at 935/1125 and no problem(s) at all, not even Crysis or Furmark. Try downloading Catalyst 9.10 and update to the newest drivers.

edit:

I see you've tried multiple versions already. Download GPUz and check what voltages your card is running at, I know mines is running at 1.312V. And increase it.
