Got a r9 290 pcs+ and kept having BSOD, following the advice of many I RMA'd the sucker, the card was benchmarked stress tested and run on bf4 bioshock and another game without a single problem leading me to believe its something to do with my system. but what the hell is it????

ive tried so much and cant get it to run without blue screening

I have an rm860 psu
amd 6300 cpu
gigabyte ga78lmt usb3.0 m/b
8gb ram (2x4gb)

Any suggestions as to what the cause could be?

Driver clean uninstall.

Use AMD's utility to do a custom clean uninstall of the GPU drivers and HDMI audio driver for the GPU. (* DON'T go AUTO uninstall. This will remove everything incl chipset, SATA, USB and on-board audio in most cases)

Then reinstall your new drivers. AVOID Betas and stick to official driver release for stability.

Also, in some games, forcing a specific AA mode will cause black screens or crashes. Try setting AA and Anisotropic to application controlled, and turn tessellation and surface format optimization OFF to test.
