So I just got my MSI R9 280x and when I try to play any game my monitor loses signal and I have to shut my pc down. I had this problem before with my 6870 but that was because the power cables weren't tight. The power cables in my 280x I made sure were very tight. The only other thing I would imagine has anything to do with this is one of the slow fans on the card. The fan has a weird friction and is harder to spin than the other one. However I don't think this is a problem as the card gets only around 64C when starting a game (before the crash happens).

Could it be my PSU? My PSU is 650w and I have an OCd 2500k @4.5ghz.
