So I tried trading out video cards, from ATI R6870 to a R9 290.

With the R6870 everything ran great. I unplugged the 6870, uninstalled the drivers using DDU utility. Rebooted, the
hooked up the new R9 290. I installed the latest ATI drivers for it and everything looked good. After about running for
20 minutes or soo the whole computer will freeze.

I am running Windows 7, and I have been watching the temp of the card, nothing unusual there.
No BSOD, just a complete freeze. With a reboot everything looks good then the same thing happens. I was wondering
if anyone had any similar issues or suggestions to fix this?

I have flashed the motherboard with the latest BIOS and still having the issue.

Here is my MOBO and processor..

ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb Quad-Core 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor HDZ955FBGMBOX

Yes that is what I have been using. Last time it froze it was checking in at around 55 degrees Celsius i think, nothing really high. I had it just running in windows.. like i said leave it alone and it will hard freeze in about 15 minutes...
