So about 6 months ago I replaced my GPU, and since that I have been having weird issue.
When I watch a youtube video or any other form of video from time to time my display just goes black, for few seconds I can hear sound but then sound goes to hell (still has sound but its like its frozen and repeating) but I can hear my PC working still, this has not happent when playing any video game, but recently it started happening when I leave PC overnight to download games, this night I left my PC on to download Battlefield 3, when I woke up my screen was black, but my PC was still working, I had to restart PC, and I saw my download stoped. I turned off sleep and hibernate. Before it only happent when I was watching something, when it happens I just restart my PC. Oldest thing in my PC is my display, its about 6 or even more years old.
My specs are:
Pentium G860 3.0GHz
Radeon R7 260X
4 GB RAM
1280x1024 resolution
Win 8.1
PSU is Antec VP500PC, 500 watt
I apologize for bad English, it's not my first laungage.
Thank you!

I did, I unistalled drivers and installed AMD beta driver (one with Mantle), Problem happent before and after I did that (I installed beta driver atleast 4 months ago, "overnight download screen goes black" issue started happening last week)
I will most likely install new 14.6 AMD drivers soon.

I have the same problam with Gigabyte 260X 2GB OC, already installed every driver betas and the final version imagine, I am now 13:12, 550w which is within the requested by the manufacturer, i3570k 8GBDDR3 2400mhz. I think it smells like RMA, as already seen in other forums and nobody has found a solution.

It is not that big of an issue, it never happent while playing any video game, that is why its weird for me, only when watching an video or puting something to download overnight, and its not that regular.
I am only worried if its dangerous, I do not want to destroy my PC.
