My specs are : msi h81-e33 r9 280 windforce (stock), i5-4460 with stock cooler, corsair vengeance ram 8gb, evga white 500'watt psu, and a wd caviar blue 1tb. I really need your help ao any response welcomed, but urgently required a fix. Thanks.

Put a bootable copy of your current operating system on a disc or flash drive and run it. From there, try to run a memtest and, if nothing turns up, try some option that looks like 'repair your system' (I don't remember what the option is exactly). Hopefully one of those will fix the issue

that screen is a generic screen, it can't help troubleshooting.

 

as others have said, check your fans, i suspect your windows might be fine. you can try to repair via a disk, but i do not think that is the issue.

 

make sure all your power pins are connected properly and that your PSU fan is also working properly. this seems like a hardware issue, not a software issue.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
