I was in the middle of a game of csgo when my computer crashed. And when I turned it back on, parts of the screen were distorted with green and purple. It shows it on the splash screen of the motherboard and when I get to the login screen but a little after I get to the login screen, it goes black and doesn't come back on. A little before this happened I installed a beta driver and afterwards it crashed again. I came back and rolled back my driver and then it crashed again and now it has the distortion. It's an MSI R9 270X.

Oh lordy, please tell me you still are under warranty with that card.
It sounds like the beta driver may have killed your card. Well not killed but did something to it.
Try dropping the base clock in the overclock settings on your cpu. That will lower the gpus clock speed and you may be able to roll back the driver to a stable point and then you can put the base clock to where it was.
That will underclock everything in your system.

Also if that doesnt work, try to find a bios update to your card and reflash it, if that doesnt work then youre screwed

I've had it for a year and a half so I don't think it's under warranty anymore. If I do manage to get it working again, what should I do after getting it to a stable driver? And if I do need a new card what do you recommend?

If you bought it new then the warranty is 3 years. After you get it to a stable driver go back into the bios and put the base clock back to where it was before you lowered it.

If you have to get a new card, get a 1070/1080 but if those are out of price range grab a 980ti or 2 R9 480X cards

I was thinking about a 1070 but I think the FX-6300 will bottleneck it.

I was able to get into Windows and Uninstall the driver after switching the BIOS. Once I switched it, it stopped turning off on me and it will stay on but I still have the green lines. Is this unfixable?
