I have installed a new card into my built rig and It randomly restarts with no warning messages. I originally put a xfx r9 290 in and due to it having the same issues and reading many people were having the same problem i sent it back after a day of trying to get it to run assuming that it was the card with the issues. Unfortunately it seems that is not so. I have just put in a new MSI r9 290x and have the same issue. My old card is a radeon hd 6670 and it still runs great with zero issues. Also as a side note not sure if could help identify the issue but the pc seems to load very slowly and all processes seem to be a labor with the new card in it. The restarts seem to occur at a 5-10 min passing.
I have tried uninstalling the old drivers and doing a fresh install of new ones. I have updated my bios, I reset my motherboard memory by removing the battery ( wouldn't recommend that to anybody that just seemed to cause more issues.) I have even wiped the pc completely with a fresh windows install. I am at a loss. I have a feeling its something to do with my motherboard maybe? Help with this would be greatly appreciated.
My specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor
(Card name: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
Power Supply: Corsair cx750
Mother Board: ASUS M5A 78L-M LX plus
