PC just restarts itself every 5 minutes. Used bluescreenview to find that it was ntoskrnl.exe that was causing it. I recently installed a new graphics card, could it be faulty? have run chkdsk and memtest86 for 7 hours, no errors.

EDIT: I know its definitely something to do with my graphics card because i used display driver uninstaller and i didnt get any restarts. I then tried installing the driver from sapphires website and it started restarting again so now I am using my pc without the amd drivers just windows vga controller driver. I cant play games or anything though.

I seemed to have fixed it for now. I ran Display Driver Uninstaller and then installed the most up to date AMD drivers (not beta) but in the options I selected custom and didn't install catalyst control centre, I just installed the driver.

EDIT: It broke again. I have just put my HD 6850 back in and am getting the R9 290 replaced.

I haven't got round to getting a new motherboard yet but that is the most likely cause, i tested everything and it just came down to that. Its just somehow incompatible.
