Trouble with my PC

[ThyFeared]

I've been having problems with my PC lately. I've been getting black screens and the pc freezes shortly after. I'm almost certain it's my R7-260X (XFX) that's causing this because I see a lot of flickering on my  screen sometimes. Here is a full list of my specs. 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor  

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD2 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard 

Memory: Kingston Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  

Video Card: XFX Radeon R7 260X 2GB Core Edition Video Card  

Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case  

Power Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

You need to change your member title. That is inappropriate for this forum. And nobody would say that like you did. Your wording is too formal.

The best course is to download bluescreenview. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html And google the cause.

I usually get them too on my 7790 which is basically a 1gb version of the 260x from the previous Radeon gen. The beta driver seems to have fixed it. Try uninstalling your current driver and install the beta. Good luck.

well, Remove the Graphics Card, run it with the on board Graphics and see, if it doesn't happen it's the GPU, if it does, it's something else

They're not blue screens. They're literally a black screen that just freeze my pc.

It's always idle at 45C

Could be a faulty PSU.

Could be but I'm going to run off iGPU for a day to see if it black screens me more.
