Does my PC recognize the GPU?

I have just bought a new computer, but I'm not sure if the graphics card is working properly. My GPU is Gigabyte R9 280x. In the "device manager > display adapters", it's shown as "AMD Radeon R9 200 Series", is that how it's supposed to be? Another thing that confuses me is that in the "dxdiag" program it shows that the DAC type is "Internal DAC (400MHz)", is that the correct DAC type for R9 280x?

What I find kind of strange is that nowhere on the computer it shows the exact model of my graphics card (Gigabyte R9 280x), it's always shown as "AMD Radeon R9 200 Series".

Here's a screenshot of the display properties as shown in the Everest program.

Another thing that bugs me is that in the Device Manager there are 2 Display Adapters. The "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" has a warning sign next to it, and when I click on properties under the device status it says "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)".

Is that ok the way it is? Why would I have 2 adapters to start with? Are they even compatible with each other?

Okay. So one question is answered already, thanks. But still a few more left. Is the DAC type supposed to be "internal" for R9 280x?
As for my problem, it's confusing and I'm not an expert. It's also worth to mention that my new PC has already crashed a few times (blue screen with "uncorrectable hardware error"), so I'm trying to figure out where lies the problem.
