    Sounds like your card is overheating. Go download ATITOOL 0.24. You can see what your fan is spinning at, and adjust it if needed. The fans that go out with the cards are adequate at best. You may need to get an aftermarket fan, like the Artic Cooling silencer. I have 1 on an 850 pro and my 850xt pe and no issues.

            Can you still play and does it do the same thing? Have you downloaded ATITOOL 0.24? Your power may have been an issue, but it wouldn't cause issues like these, it would cause random reboots.
