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!

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.

Try plugging the GPU into a different PCIe slot , that might help sometimes ! Replacing the card would be a last resort option not just that easy.I only have one PCIe slot... Maybe if i plug it back in?
Try reseating it and connect the power cables again , before that specify your PSU's model and manufacturer.

From bios/uefi, what readings are you getting for the 12v, 5v and 3.3v rails?His PSU is a tier 5 PSU , that's the sole reason for the problem.
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?

Okay cool, but the 280x says it needs 750w, but I do know it can be run on a 500w. Would a corsair hx or tx be good also?

RealHardTech recommend 600W eg
Seasonic M12II 620 $75 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... - a tier one power supply
