I recently got an alienware with a r9 270 card. Just browsing the net or anything low task cause bsods, black screens, or graphical corruption and lockups at various times. Tried multiple driver changes, reseating, etc. The only thing that would stop the problem was uninstalling the amd driver and going without it (but then games are nixed).
I decided today to try an old nvidia 7900gt card to see if that would work better. I get the exact same issues (maybe worse now). This card ran rock solid on a low power psu for years so the psu shouldn't be the problem. Again, this card doesn't mess up with the drivers uninstalled.
Bios is up to date. Drivers were up to date. What am I missing?
