Gigabyte 290 Black screen on Boot at Desktop

Hello Everyone. First time posting for me. Having a recurring issue with an AMD R9 290 Video card. I have tried it in an AMD and Intel configuration and have the same problem with both. It affects both windows 7,8,8.1 and windows 10.

First system specifications. AMD Phenom II 955 with 8 GB DDR3 RAM. Asus m5a97r 2.0 and a 750 watt power supply. Intel system is a Core I7 4790K with 8GB DDR3 RAM and an Asus Maximus VII Hero mobo. It has 8 GB DDR3 RAM. Ok the ram and memory is same for both systems. Neither are OC. Both have latest bios updates and all windows updates for both systems. Both systems run fine if i throw in a different video card by either AMD or Nvidia.

Issue is as follows. When i do a cold boot for first time during a day I can log on and goto desktop and within 30 seconds to 2 min I get black screen of death. On warm reboot everything works fine. This happens almost every cold boot. Any warm reboots everything works fine. Power supply has been tested and works fine. I orginally replaced AMD system with Intel as I thought maybe mobo was old or CPU was old and malfunctioning. This was more of an excuse to spend a grand and upgrade but could also be used to test if it was the issue.

Event logs posted below. EVTX format. Do not know how to export them to another format sorry.

yes same power supply. 750 Watt. Tested power supply with 2 different testers to make sure it works. But since i do not know how to use a multimeter I can't say for sure. I just assume the psu testers are good enough. Will consider replacing psu to test though.

I also think you shouldn't be asking for donations for helping people. Unless you are a charity?

Thats not how it works around here.

Im also guessing James fixed his problem as he hasn't been back since 2015
