Guys, I found something regarding/similar to this issue!
I have three Matrix Platinums which after initial testing got waterblocks and tried them in 3-way CrossFire... Now I have decided that I'm downgrading my hardware collection and these cards have to go... So, I have re-mounted the factory air-coolers and retesting them...
Two of the cards were working flawlessly as expected... - but the third one start giving me headaches with the GPU Tweak... start getting that recover question posted in the first post of this thread, then asked me to restart and started over again...
I have to mention that the card itself was working absolutely fine, the load indicator was showing what it had to show, but could not start GPU Tweak...
Tried a lot of things mentioned in this thread and elsewhere, but no luck... - until I realized something: I have tried to hotwire this card while it was under watercooling! For that I have connected those R4E pads at the edge of the card... that time I was OC'ing from the RIVE's BIOS, so didn't used GPU Tweak...
Now, after I disconnected those R4E pads is back again to normal!
🙂Seemingly, hotwiring is not really compatible with GPU Tweak... at least not with this 2.2.9.9 version...
