I have a HD 7870 and about the time the 14.6 beta drivers released, I updated to it. That day I had black screen crashes with my gpu fans maxing out whenever I started playing games. I downgraded to the stable 14.4 release and didn't have the problem again until today when the 14.6 RC drivers were released for wildstar. Again, the problem occurred so I downgraded to 14.4 again but the problem persists. I black screen whenever I start to play any game such as CS:GO (as soon as I enter a game) and black screened the instant I pressed "go" in furmark.

System Specs: Win 7 64 bit || i5 - 35750k (3.4ghz) || HD 7870 || 8 gb ddr3 || asrock z77 extreme4

FINAL EDIT: Power Supply died yesterday after a little over a year, must have been a faulty PSU. Plugged in my old 300w and it booted up(without gpu, not enough pins). Ordered a new PSU.

I have a corsair CX600 Bronze PSU. Edit : I replugged the two 6 pin connectors and that fixed the problem for a bit. I was able to play for a few hours and then it happened again I'm assuming it's a problem with the pci-e cable but I'm not really sure. Is changing my PSU the safest bet? I don't have a different system to test my gpu or psu with.
