so i just upgraded my graphics card form a nvidia gtx 650 ti boost to a msi r9 270x gaming
first i plugged in my card and uninstalled all nvidia drivers and software, and then i installed the newest beta amd drivers ( catalyst 14.1 ) , after playing battlefield 4 for 10 min i got a bsod
when i restarted my pc i tried playing the titanfall beta and again, after only 1 minut i got a bsod again...

my system specs are:

asus p8b75-m
cooler master gx 450w
8gb corsair vengeance
wd black 1tb
msi R9 270x gaming 2gb

Hi Aaron,
I have the same problem as you. After upgrade from GTX460 to 270x I'am getting crashes.. My PSU has 400W (450W peak).. :D ..did you try another psu?
How did you solve this problem?

My guess is the power supply , please read the minimum requirement for that GPU , since I have the same GPU , if memory doesn't fail me , it requires at LEAST 500w , also I remember seeing other conditions as well . So please take a look at you graphic card box that it came with , also you can check the website .

the cooler master gx 450 has 35 amps on the 12 volt rail, the r9 270x needs 32
also there is a guy on youtube that even runs a 270x with a 430 watt psu! with no problems!

first of all: a 400 watt psu is wayyyy to less for a 270x, i could barely run my 270x with a 450w psu
and then i upgradet to a 650w and it fixed (almost) all the problems
second: try and remove all the drivers first with display driver uninstaller, and than instal the drivers back in
