So the card I went with is this...
XFX BLACK Edition Radeon R9 390 DirectX 12 R9-390P-8286 8GB 512-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card
I want to try reinstalling the drivers again but basically what happens is I will get home and my machine will be off and it won't turn on again until I flip the power switch on my PSU off then on again.
It was worse... when this started I tried to troubleshoot and noticed that the screws attaching the brackets of my card to the case in the back of it where the outputs are located like everything else were sort of moving it when I would put them in. So my thought was maybe this was pulling the card out some and part of the problem.
Seemed to help some. Before the machine would shut down and I could get the PSU going after I flipped the switch but that was it. I heard something else in there making some noises, I think fans, but power didn't seem to want to go to the rest of it. Reseating the gfx card seemed to get my past this which is why I went with leaving the screws out.
I've basically had random issues with my machine since I installed this card but now it seems to be a more serious problem. Thought I would come here for advice before I called XFX to see if they want me to RMA it and reinstall the old one. The guts look like this...

sorry for the slopiness just went to my email get stuff off the invoice. Hope it all makes sense if not I will try to clarify it. Currently running Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7 all OEM and fully licensed.
however, the partitions are a little jacked up I have a post in the OS section about it but I can't see that causing this problem. Once I have a chance to fix the partitions I will find out I guess... unless I RMA first.
As always thanks to anyone who has time to provide input/suggestions.
Keep folding!!! (Is that even still a thing??)
Thanks again!!!
