Everything is running fine on my desktop and on 2D browsing. 2D games and 3D fighting games (SF4, MK) are working fine. My problem is on most 3D games such as dota, SC2, smite, bl2, portal2, ac4, etc, where I play for a couple of minutes and then my monitor loses signal and doesn't display anything on the screen again until I restart my PC. I tried plugging in my hdmi again, but that didn't work. My computer is still on when this problem occurs so my pc didn't overheat or shut off. I have heard some people running an 280x on a 500w psu, so I don't know if my psu is the problem. I have a 600w cooler master psu. I assume it is something to do with the 280x drivers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from the amd site, but no luck unless I did something wrong. If someone can help that would be great!
R9 280x XFX 3D gaming problem?

The PC would shut off when PSU is failing. As you have observed only the screen getting turned off while gaming, it means the graphics card is losing its life. Replace it.
Post your complete and detailed build.
Do you get any BSoD errors? and reference to filenames?
Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar - so we can see how well your hardware is behaving.
Make sure that you've installed and can use the uefi software that came with your mobo - to be able to verify any odd readings.

Yeah I think you are right! I just played Killing floors and torchlight 2 and they ran fine. I even started a new profile on borderlands 2 and that worked, but when I play with my saved profile it does the problem again. What PSU do you recommend I get?
Must be my psu then! I'll be looking for that seasonic to buy soon. I heard they are very good psu. Would a corsair hx or tx also be any good? or do you recommend the seasonic? Thanks! I guess I am limited to what games I can play for now.
