Hello and thank you for reading and responding, this has been a huge pain for quite some time now and at least 25 hours have gone into attempting to fix this issue.

With the help of my friends i have built this computer:

AMD FX(tm)-9590 Eight-Core Processor 4.72 GHz
16.0 GM RAM (2 8 sticks)
750w power supply
Crosshair-V Formula-Z Asus Motherboard
AMD Radeon (TM) R9 Fury Series (I have the Fury X and i'm running it on 3 monitors via "Display Cables" instead of HDMI) (Also, my friend bent the ribbon about 90 degrees at one point, does this effect it?)

EDIT: Since i posted this yesterday I replaced the 750w power supply with a 1200w power supply by Thermaltake. Gold rated.
After replacement : Froze During Prime 95 Benchmark test as soon as it got to 2 CPU 2 Workers, Before that it passed 4 Tests in 22 minutes for Stress testing Full power consumption and Full CPU usage.

My friend installed all the graphics and motherboard drivers for me. He oversees IT at the local area school district and knows his computers to a decent degree i would imagine.

I often play Starcraft 2 and Heroes Of The Storm. It freezes when i play these although i cannot say it ONLY freezes when i play these.

When the screen turns black for a couple seconds it returns as normal 2-3 seconds after, and it freezes at a different time, not when it turns black for a moment.

Today i replaced both the 8gb ram sticks and it is still freezing about once per hour of gaming.

My temperature on my watercooled cpu is about 15-20 degrees celcius on average, it does not appear to be too hot.

If there is any more information i can provide you please post and i am eager to provide the information.

Did you happen to see what the temp of the gpu was when playing? See if you can run a temp program off to the side on one of your other monitors and load a game up. The only thing that comes to mind is the gpu is getting very very hot and crashing but not enough to completely shut down the pc so it crashes, screen goes black and the pc freezes and then returns to normal only for the gpu to heat right back up. Try that and see what results you get. Ive been seeing alot of people having issues with both the fury x and the r9 390 overheating lately.

I am always between 21 degrees C and 28. Heating is not an issue.

It has not blacked out temporarily actually in several days now, it is now only simply freezing. I has frozen 3 times tonight so far. The only culprits left are the CPU and the FURY X. Other than that it will be very tricky to find out what's going on.
