So I bought a new PC some three days ago and I've experienced maybe four or five BSODs since - from what I see, it happens primarily when having multiple streaming or video-related tabs in my browser - for example I have three YouTube videos opened and I open a new tab with another one and then BAM, buzzing sound in my headphones and blue screen. The code is a0000001 which, from what I read, is related to the GPU. It also sometimes happens that it buzzes and freezes the screen (without BSOD) when I have multiple tabs open and I try to open Asus GPU Tweak.

I have R9 290 from Asus, updated the drivers to the newest. From what I see in GPU-Z, I get around 50^C in idle. What may be the problem?

Is your GPU a reference card? Can you give your full specs please?

50°c in idle is a little too high ._. If I am not wrong you should have a DCU II that has neat cooling. Is it overclocked?
