Hello!
I have the same graphics card: MSI R9 270X, and now, im running the 16.3 Driver. I had similar issues: every game was crashing with different error messages. My solutuion seems weird, but it worked for me: go in to crimson settings, then go to: home-> settings: then click the reset all settings to factory settings (or something like that in english). Go game without crashes. :)

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Yes. right click Start Menu button at the bottom left, and select "System"
Then select "Advanced system settings" on the left.
Select "Hardware" tab.
Select "Device Installation Settings"
Select "No, let me choose what to do"
Click "Never install driver software from Windows Update."

Here you go!

I have tried a number of driver updates and rollbacks, but this appears to have solved the problem ... go figure! Asus R9 280
