Hi guys,

first post on this forum.
I've been having the following problem with my computer:

When I switch the computer on for the first time in the evening for example and launch one of the games, the screen may go grey with vertical lines. I would still hear the game working, but the computer won't response to keyboard or mouse commands. Have to make a hard reboot or switch it off and switch it on again with a power button.

The interesting thing is - it would happen just once and the computer would work fine after the reboot. It would never happen twice during the evening.

The computer in question has got:
Intel 5i with two Sapphire RADEON R9 280X in Crossfire

I must say I have had an absolute nightmare with these GPUs - had to send it back 3 times before I've managed to get two working ones. Previous ones were not working and I was having artifacting issues all the time.

I have checked temperatures a few times and all of them are on the proper level.
Voltage is fine.
Drivers seem to be updated...

I will try to post a photo of the screen when it goes grey again tonight. Will post full configuration in the evening as well.

Appreciate your answers
