Hi

I've just bought a new graphic card, Radeon R9 270. After installing it to my pc, it crashes randomly. I've read about it and tried everything, still nothing helped. My pc is:

CPU: Intel Q9400 (not overcloked)
RAM: 8gb DDR3 Corsair
PSU: Chieftec CFT 650 14CS
HDD: 1tb Seagate

I've formatted and installed windows on my C drive, updated bios to the latest version, deleted MSI Afterburner (some people said that it caused their crashes), cleaned whole

computer, and it sitll crashes, not very often but usually on software that uses audio (I use M-Audio Fast Track C600) and it's really annoying. Is there anything else that

can help before taking that card to my buddy and trying it on another PC?

I had the latest drivers earlier and it crashed so I've installed drivers from disc included to card. I've discovered that it crashes when I try any software or site that uses audio (Youtube, TeamSpeak, Foobar etc), anyone heard about that?

I changed my power supply and it's much butter... BUT I left my computer for night when downloading game from UPlay and it crashed at night (don't know if there was blue screen because I was sleeping but when I woke up, there was not a single program left open) What should I do? And btw, I changed my psu to Corsair 430, is that enought for my hardware?
