R9 280x problem

I just bought used Sapphire Radeon R9 280x Vapor-X. And when i start Battlefield 4 my PC just turns off, no blue screen or anything like that. And if I want to turn my PC back on i have to unplug my power cable for about 10 seconds and turn it back on. I tried 14.4 and 14.7 beta drivers and nothing helped. The temperatures both on CPU and GPU don't go above 60°C.

 

My PC:

AMD FX-8320 not overclocked

8 GB 1600 MHz Kingston memory

Asus M5A97 R2.0

Sapphire Radeon R9 280x Vapor-X not overclocked

Samsung 840 EVO SSD

 

To us were left the wonders of creation: Beasts of air, water, earth... and steel.

I thought about that too, either it's my 280x or a PSU because everything was working fine with my old graphics card.
