Have you checked in AB properties - general:

-unlock voltage control&monitoring
-extend official overclocking limits
-disable ULPS
-unofficial overclocking mode - without powerplay support

Is your card under warranty? If not then remove cooler and check that vrm, mem, core are properly cooled.

I've tried MSI afterburner and same things happen, but i can't even undervolt on MSI, its locked.
But if can't underclock on CCC, then there must be something else going on.... i guess

So this is how it stands now with the card.

I did a fresh OS Windows 10 PRO install build 1709.
And PC normal work, doesn't act up anymore.

Still having GPU problems tho, it seems i can't underclock the card anymore.
Whenever i set the clocks in TRIXX, they just reset to default clocks.
In CCC i can underclock the card to 970, and thats it, the slider is at the end ...
If i alter the memclock in ccc, it reverts back to default clocks aswell.

When i try to set undervoltage before running miner.bat, usually when i get to -100, screen turns black and have to do a hard reset.
When i try to adjust the voltage whilst mining, i can get it to -120. But with default clocks.

I'm trying to get 940/1250 -15% and - 120v for optimal power conumption.

I have tried to play a game, and i'm getting lags, small shocks, and white pixels on occasion. Is my card getting artifacts ?

Anybody suggestions?

I think something is wrong with my card.
Whenever i even adjust the slider of the voltage in TRIXX.
Screen falls out. I tried to play a game. And the game freezed aswell. Computer is also acting up. Chrome not responding. Apps take Longer to open.

I DDU'ED and installed latest drivers. Did a driver check. Installed ALL older drivers.

Problem still persists. Using 2 different bios.

Is it a GPU problem of maybe mobo ?

This is a used GPU card.
