Faulty Graphics Card

Hi all,

 

I've bought an Asus R9 280X DirectCUII to crossfire with my MSI HD 7970 Lightning BE. I set them up in crossfire and reinstalled the drivers. I noticed that once I ran a game or Kombustor, after approx. a minute the monitor would go black as if it has lost a signal. It's an LG monitor that flashes "Power Saving Made" when this happens and no matter what I do I cannot get the screen back unless I pull the plug (of my PC). When I tested the new card solo, exactly the same happens. 

Is the problem a defect card or could it be driver related?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

 

My System:

  • Intel i7 930 (LGA 1366)
  • Asus Rampage II Gene (X58)
  • OCZ 6GB (3x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3
  • Intel 520 120GB SSD (OS Drive)
  • Seagate 1TB
  • EVGA Supernova G2 850W PSU
  • CoolIT ECO A.L.C. CPU Cooler
  • MSI HD 7970 Lighting Boosted Edition & Asus R9 280X DirectCUII
  • Corsair Obsidian 350D
