Hello guys, I came back to my computer after hibernation/shutoff and I got an error message that is covered with a black screen and it read that my systems memory had changed since hibernation and something about deleting the data and restarting, also accompanied by this, my graphics card seems to not be transmitting video, the fans are all working, but when ever I put my hdmi cable into it, it doesn't respond, but if I plug my hdmi cable into the hdmi port on my motherboard I get visual's, don't tell me my 5 month old tri-x r9 290 just failed and took my memory with it. My system was working fine before I left, I had played battlefield on it, 60 fps all the time and my temp gauges were spectacular as well. The other part of this puzzel is that I only have one ripjaws 8 gig ramstick installed, and I know you cant get a pc to desktop w/o working ram, second when I brought my pc out of the error to desktop, I saw a popup window that said it was installing drives but it failed, and the device was unknown. What could this be guys ?


I very much appreciate your assistance.
 
Solution
start with trying the 290 in another pc. if the 290 works in another pc it may be power supply issue or something on the mb may have failed.

Got an update, I fixed it with a few driver uninstallations, and restored to 3:am of today, I found out that windows could automaticaly install drivers, and it installed two at the same time according to the log, I guess this caused all sorts of errors, but everythings fine now, thank you smorizio for your help though.
