Hello everyone.
Yesterday I bought a new video card for my computer, an R9 290.
However, after installing the drivers, the computer starts rebooting randomly. It usually reboots after 15 minutes, but sometimes it works like an hour, and within that hour I can play intensive games like battlefield 3. I even managed to do a complete run with 3dmark benchmark.
I reinstalled operating system, so it isnt drivers.
I constantly checked temperatures and they ranged between 35-45º.
Even one time after a black screen it seemed to recover, but a yellow alert triangle appeared at bottom right inside the bar and everything worked really slow for a bit before rebooting.
Computer specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8120
Ram: 8GB
Motherboard: M5A78L-M LX3
PSU: Sentey 850W 80 plus
I wonder if it is a video card failure and I should get it replaced.
Thanks so much in advance and happy new year!

, and I formated the system to discard driver problems. Is there a way I could know if it is the power supply?
