black sreen with my new r9 290 vapor x oc

Hi, i just bought a pre-owned r9 290 vapor x oc edition. it works fine for just displaying my desktop and even for playing cube world which isn't very demanding, but as soon as I load a game like battlefield 3 the screen goes black with no signal and the computer crashes so I have to restart.

my specs are:
- intel i3
-750w psu(not sure which brand)
-4gb ram
-r9 290 vapor x oc
1tb hdd

I thought it might be to do with with the card not getting enough power because of the symptoms and that ccc says its getting 0% power, but I checked all the calbes are in ok and researched some recommended psu's for this card and people say 650w should be fine so I'm not sure what to try.

also there's a chance its broken because its second hand.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

thanks.
