Hey, i was playing a game and suddenly my screen blacked out but you could tell it was not off, so i restarted and it began to load up once i was past the windows loading screen in went black again.

I searched around for fixes to no avail, so restored my pc. I then noticed that my resolution was locked very low. Then checked device manager and my video card was not being found after 15 mins of trying to update drivers my pc restarts and black screen is back.

What could be the problem, a loose wire or a faulty card.

Will give more detail on Pc tomorrow however my OS is 8.1 soon to be 10.

Card; R9 270x AMD

Side note, the amd driver installer couldn't recognize my card but could in safe mode. But safe mode doesnt work with the installation process.
