Hey does anyone have this problem:

When I open a game, after some time, my display will temporarily turn black for 2 seconds (audio is still playing in the background), and the display will come back on, but now everything is laggy / stutters / not-crisp. It is really annoying. Is it my display drivers crashing and restarting? I have an R9 380 if that helps.

It used to happen some times, but now it's happening ALL the time and getting to a point where games are unplayable.

Well, IF it's a driver issue, this will fix it...




DDU Instructions - AMD
1. Get this program, here: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ ...get the latest version, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get your vid card driver here, use the Manual Search: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ...save this to your desktop.
3. Run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose: AMD, then choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you. If it wants to go into "Safe Mode", let it.
4. After it's done and comp has rebooted to normal mode, just double click the AMD driver ( that you saved to your desktop in step #2) ...to install. If it want's to reboot, let it.
