My build
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor, Black Edition
MOBO: Gigabyte 880GA-UD3H
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB, 2 x 4GB, DDR3
Old Video Card: XFX Raedon HD 6870 1GB DDR5
New Video Card: XFX R9 270X 2GB DDR5

I just switched to the XFX R9 and after a few hours, I get this black screen that won't go unless I reboot a couple of times. I have the latest driver installed for the card and everything but its still happening. Any ideas why or how to fix it?
 


Yes, I did remove the old driver before inserting the new card. Any other possibles causes or solutions? Thanks for the link though, I'll try it out.
 


Yeah tried that, so its a defect then?
