I have a Vibox PC with Windows 8.1 and a AMD Radeon™ R9 280X graphic card from 3 month. Since a week the PC has begun having bugs, then appears a blue or a brown screen with some lines. Sometimes it continues to work and say that the graphic card has crashed, but several times it simply reboot the computer automatically. What happens? What should I do?

Long story short , I can't speak Italian :D 

However I'll use very simple English that you can even translate using google.

The Power Supply need to be at least 500W in order to run the graphics card properly and it needs to be a good power supply.

This is where you should find how many watts your power supply has



If it is not like that then you can calculate it manually by seeing how many Amperes does it have on the 12V Rail then multiply 12 by that number.

That PSU isn't any good , it needs replacement however it should be able to power up the system.

Have you replaced the original graphics card then ?
