Spiralfusion I think I'm in love. So far I have been able to crash the game 100% of the time by opening up my inventory, heading to either beastiary or tutorial and just scrolling around for a bit. After disabling Action Messages I did the same thing and for the first time I wasn't able to crash while messing around in the inventory for quite some time. I'm going to start a much longer-term test/play session and will post again with further results, but so far this change is very promising.
I have a 290x (Asus DirectCU II OC r9290-dc2oc-4gd5) and other beefy stuff:

32GB RAM
Win 8.1 64-bit
Both of.you realise that this thread is for a issue with the R9285 GPU and that you're completely off topic right?This is happening to me as well and I'm using an AMD Radeon R7 265. I'm playing at 1366x768 but the game runs pretty nice (reaching 60 FPS) with a mix of med and ultra settings. I can't play at all because it crashes in the middle of a fight and it's getting frustrating. The game is properly updated, I just installed the latest AMD beta drivers, I noticed the CPU usage lowered but the game is still crashing, and it's only crashing with the witcher 3. My PC stops responding and then it restarts.
