My best guess would be that your PSU cant handle the load. That system should push well past 450 watt under load i would try a different PSU if you can to make sure thats the problem.

 

The 280 eats quite a bit more wattage than the 270X, which probably didnt help ^^

 

In the future you may wanna take a look at a tool like http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/

to estimate your draw and make sure your system can handle it.
