R9 280X 3BG - FPS drops to around 0 after 2 min of gaming

[Radikal_rabit]

Yesterday I decided to change the thermal paste on my GPU, because my PC would turn of randomly because of my GPU getting too hot. I followed a guide, and I was very careful. My PC boots up perfectly normal. Everything seems to be working the way it should.

Does any of you have any idea what might be the problem?

EDIT: The FPS goes up to 60+ after a around 1-20 seconds.

please download hardware monitor and check the temps at idle and on load .

Idle temp is around 45, when under load it goes to around 50-60 depending on the game.
(I used speccy)

I just ordered a new CPU cooler and some thermal paste. It should be here tomorrow, or maybe Tuesday.

check if the heat sink touch the GPU properly

I just took a closer look on the hardware temps. It seems that my CPU (AMD FX-8350) is getting really hot just after a few minutes of gaming, 68C to be exact. I closed down the game before it could go get any hotter, but it was rising in temperature for sure.

Maybe that could be the problem? The CPU cooler that i'm using atm is just a stock AMD cpu cooler.

68 C is still a good temp at load , you must download hwmonitor app and see the highest temp that it reaches , but i dnt think that the cpu is causing that download the app from here and start a game , http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
