R9 280x Crashing Pink Screen

[MrPandaPasta]

I recently bought a used GIGABYTE R9 280x (rev. 1.0) and when playing games or browsing the internet, or pretty much doing anything, my computer screen starts to flicker and then crashes with a pink/blue screen, similar to what happens in this video: https://youtu.be/3nGzGA20f5g

Specs:

GIGABYTE R9 280x
AMDFX-8320 3.5ghz boost to 4.0ghz
700W PSU
GIGABYTE DS3P-970A MOBO
16GB DDR4 RAM
Windows 10 Home

Are you overclocking? If so, reset everything to factory specs (bus, multiplier, voltages, timings, etc.) and test again.
Do you have both aux power connectors plugged into the video card?

I fixed it. I had a faulty fan and I fixed it by cleaning the card thoroughly with things like compressed air. Just needed some cleaning and it never crashes anymore.
