The problem - the screen will flicker black usually after a few hours use. Usually about three flickers during use. Then the screen will turn black pause *2 seconds* crash, then reboot. This has happened 3 times, the last time only the screen went out however the PC was still running.

Notes: this is only recently since installing a new monitor - LG 25UM65. However i don't believe my monitor is responsible for this. Any suggestions?

Specs:
CPU - AMD FX 8350 Black Edition
GPU - XFX R9 280X
RAM - 2x4Gb HyperX Fury
Hard Drive - 1Tb SSHD
MOBO - M5A78L-M/USB3
PSU - CX500M
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Case - Corsair Air 540

Then switch back to the other monitor and see if it makes a difference. But you are living on borrowed time with that small budget 500W PSU.
