What power supply are you using. Black screens could be caused by an insecure power supply or broken motherboard.

[joltx]

i7 4790k 4.5 ghz

asus z97-p

16 gigs ram

amd r9 390 the 16.7.3 driver

rmx 550

windows 10

planing on upgrading gpu to 1070

Have you check your drivers? They could be out of date so it would not boot up at all. Or your hard drive is failing

[joltx]

Driver is up to date and ssd is just 6 months old. But it only happens when it is idle

Needs more information.

1. Does it run and then black screen randomly?

2. Does it run fine until you play games and then it black screens?

3. When it black screens, is the only problem present having no visuals or does everything shutdown?

4. Was this a new build?

5. Are the parts new or used?

6. Did it always have this problem or was it recently a problem that randomly introduced itself?

7. Did you recently make changes to your computer?

[joltx]

1 yes

2 no

3 i cant do any thing and i have to reset the pc

4 half a year old. 

5 new

6 it apered a mont ago

7 no cahmges were made.

So it happens at idle during random moments and the screen won't turn on eh? Did you overclock your graphics card by any chance?

[joltx]

When gaming i turn it off when browsing and stuff

Some times it resets the gpu driver.

What do you mean by "turn it off"? Turn what off?

So it sometimes resets when it crashes and says "The driver crashed but has now recovered"?

[joltx]

I turn the oc off and yes

I'm going to assume this is one of those the graphics card is wearing out. This is perfectly natural, you just have to redo the overclocks. When tech gets old, sometimes it takes a little more voltage to stabilize the overclock when it gets old. Try to reset the card to factory settings as it's guaranteed to run at those speeds and voltages and retune using furmark at native resolution with post fx and dynamic camera enabled. It only needs to pass 10 minutes of it running as well as having artifacts no larger than 3 pixels being okay. If it can't run furmark at those settings at stock settings, your card probably degraded due to heat and the infamous electron migration.

The card is 6 month old

That doesn't excuse the fact degradation occurs over time.

Send it in for RMA

I have the exact same problem as you, I have an r9 390 as well and when I am watching videos or browsing the web or even using steam the computer will randomly display a black screen. There is no cursor and I have to reset the computer as well. I have a core i5 6600, z170 gaming m5, and a 650 wat rosewill 80+ gold psu, along with 8 gigs of ram. I am curios as to when the problem started occurring for you because this is a brand new build for me, only about a month old and it was working fine until a week or two ago. Thanks for any replies

[joltx]

Wow same like me just mine started since i updated a driver or something very wired!

I could but i'll get a 1070. It's on it's way already and it should arrive in a couple of days.
