Since i'm now onto my THIRD RMA for my gigabyte 280x rev 2.0 card, and there is two currently active threads on the forums for 280x cards i figured we might as well all gather in the one place and discuss any solutions we've found.
In my situation, the 280x was second hand - the owner was a friend. After months of erratic crashing it finally died, and he RMA'd it and i bought the replacement off him assuming it would be fixed.
It was not, and lasted less than 48 hours before it failed. The replacement for the replacement came in, and lasted exactly 3 minutes before failing the same way.
The replacement for the replacement replacement better not have issues, or i'll be raising hell with gigabyte.
I feel like noting that the two 280's i've dealt with had different BIOS'es and RAM (Hynix and elpida) which rules out those as being the cause.
Example video of what i've been dealing with:
