Hey so my new r9 290 gpu arrived today so I connected it to my pc and all was fine if just had to mess around with some drivers and it was working then my screen suddenly went black then the pc restarted and it keeps doing that about 1-2 mins after reboot no heavy load just happens randomly and I'm really worried my specs are:
Fx6300
R9 290
Corsair 650tx
8gb ram
Msi 760 gm p21

Also I have a hdd on the brink but it's been fine for about a month or so it's just got some bad sectors planning to get replaced soon don't think this could be it though

Any help is apreciated as I have tried all day to no result to try and fix this.
 
Solution
Well if your hdd is dying and has some bad sectors I would replace that asap. A dying hdd can make your system very unstable, all the information your system needs to run could be corrupted.
