Hi guys, first of all, I need to say that I don't speak English as my main language, so forgive my for my errors etc 
So, I bought an used R9 290 card 3 months ago. Card is XFX R9 290 Black Edition, and I bought it without cooler and without warranty as I also knew that. Cost me 200 euros. The problem is that it sometimes gives me black screens when gaming, and the PC frozes completely, reset won't help, I have to put the power down from PSU and wait that motherboard shuts down also, before I can boot with everything working. The original bios (model said before) froze almost instantly, now I'm using a VTX3D bios downloaded from TPU and it works better, but sometimes still does that shit, but not that often with the original bios. I've read the issues with the issues with 290 series, is this a feature or a failure? I can try other bioses of course, but it would be just a cool thing to play games without worrying when it will crash.
If there is any questions, ask me. And thanks all for the help what I hopefully get. And oh, newest drivers in use. If older drivers would correct this, tell me it.
Now I'm running this as "stock" aka. VTX3D clocks, 975/1250 since FF XIII crashed when I played with OC clocks (1050/1333, +50mv/+50mv on core/aux boost, 50% boost on power target) on..
edit: VRM/VRAM cooling SHOULD be ok, I have an Accelero Hybrid III-120 block on GPU and thermal glued heatsinks on every neccessary chips; extra fan didn't help there
