Ever since I've gotten my MSI R9 270X, it occasionally crashes to a screen with either vertical lines or a black screen.

I've tried readjusting psu connectors and installing the new beta drivers, but both haven't worked for me or my friend (who has the same gpu and the same kind of crashes)

Specs:

FX-6350
MSI R9 270X 2GB
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
8 GB RAM
SeaSonic M12II Bronze 620W


For some reason this mostly seems to happen when my pc is idle or I'm watching youtube, almost never when playing games or under load. After it crashes, sometimes I can still hear sound from mumble or youtube or what not for a couple seconds and it cuts out, other times the sound will never cut out. Also my keyboard and mouse lights (such as caps lock) will be frozen and unresponsive following the crash. Restarting immediately fixes the problem, but it's still very annoying.

I've just done a test in Cinebench and a 3D Passmark Performance Test, here, here and here.

Yeah, the Trial version of Passmark Performance Test won't let you export results. However, here is my results in firemark. I noticed it says my driver version is 14.502.1014.0, when according to AMD Gaming Evolved, it's 15.4.

As for temps, here and here is what my pc looks like when idle. When under load, it will get up to ~70° unless I turn on the fan to about 45% (about 2000 RPM) where it will remain at about 60°.
