I just purchased a MSI R9 270x from newegg, and it wont stay on for over 5 min. I just finished with almost the same problems with a 7790, purchased this card, and have the same problems. No matter what machine I put it in, I get the same problem. It just pops up a white screen and just locks up. Its really frustrating and I dont understand at all how two different cards have the same problem.. please help, I'm about to go insane from this issue. it only happens when I start a game or chrome... so its about as useful as a commodore 64 at this point. most recent drivers and all custom new built machines that work fine without it

You said both cards do the same thing on different motherboards or the same motherboard? If it's the same motherboard, then you might have a PCIe slot going bad or something.

I tried every pcie slot (all 3) and tried the card in other machines as well

So the card doesn't work on different motherboards? That's extremely rare to get two bad cards in a row...I wouldn't buy a lottery ticket anytime soon.

That's what I thought, I must have tipped some salt over on a black cat under a ladder or something. It's just such a rare coincidence

Yeah I'd stay away from the state of Nevada for a good long while...
