Hey I have just upgraded my gpu from a 5450 to r9 280x and my pc shutdown before Windows can start but it isn't the card because I had a different card before I had the card I have now. My specs are-
Fx8350
Sabertooth 990fx r2.0
Corsair ax860i
Patriot viper 3
On another forum post that I found on Tom's hardware it says that my psu could be broken.
I have deleted the old drivers please help thanks.

Put in old card and do use a Restore Point/System Recovery where the old driver is installed. You can do this with the Original Installation disk/Recovery Disk and/or from the boot menu or press f8 with Windows.
Then you can try deinstalling the driver, shutdown the system, (disconnect the wall power connection) take out old card, put in new card, start system and install the new drivers.
