Alright, so I finished building this PC friday. Here's the build : http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/1UoPJ
I was playing a very GPU intensive game after I was done installing all the drivers and Windows, the whole computer was running fairly cool (CPU wasn't going over 50c, GPU not over 80) I've ran Far cry 3 no problem for almost 2-3 hours non-stop.
Then, I lost power. Suddenly, now after intensive gaming or long session of mid-intense gaming, vertical lines of two different color swap all over the screen, and the GPU crashes completely, and I need to manually reset the computer. When it comes back on, everything is normal until I do another gaming session.
My GPU is a Gigabyte Radeon R9 280x
PSU is a Modular CX600M
Processor is an i5-4670k
8 GB RAM
What might be causing this? Is my GPU damaged?
Update: Putting my screen display to 60hz has reduced the likeliness of the GPU crashing.
Update 2: Underclocking the graphic card seems to be the best way to reduce the GPU crashes.
Update 3 :
Okay, I did a furmark test (It test videocards)
I underclocked my card to 75 %, and it survived a 1080 2 minute test.
When I did not underclock my card, it crashed, and my screen was showing this before the PC shut down : http://filesmelt.com/dl/IMG_20131111_2341531.jpg
