Hi.
I just got the new Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 Graphics card for christmas.
I installed the card by:
Uninstalling old graphics card drivers.
Unplugging the pc.
Swapping the GPUs
Boot and install the new driver.

My PC specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor (6CPUs) 3.2GHz
RAM: 8GB
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB
PSU: ACE 1000W (I am not quite sure, but i recall that)

But 1 or 2 times an hour my computer freezes and everything goes black and the sound is also freezes. This did not happen when i used my old cross-fired Radeon HD 5850 GPUs.

I am quite a noob when it comes to advanced computing :) 

Thanks in advance.
