My Specs are:

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Titanium Grey) ATX Mid Tower Case
Case Fan: Apevia CF312SL-URD 120mm Fans
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

So my problem is that my computer crashes randomly, where the sound either keeps playing or gets stuck and screen goes black. A simple restart fixes everything, but i'm still worried. However when i switch out my R9 280X with my GTX 650 Ti, the crashes stop. But also when i orientate my case so that it is resting on the side of the case with the motherboard, so that the R9 280X is orientated as if it were in a Bitfenix Prodigy, the crashes stop.
So my question is that, is my problem caused by a faulty/insufficient power supply, or is the slack the card has when the case is upright is causing issues?
