What worked for me...
- Uninstalled Catalyst Control Center (CCC).
- Disabled Hardware Acceleration in Adobe Flash (mainly used for YouTube).
When I first got this gfx card (Gigabyte Radeon R9 290x), I was getting blue screens every 2-3 days on average. They would occur weather I'm running a high gfx demanding game or a game that can be run on 256 colors, watching videos with Windows Media player or YouTube. They didn't seem to occur when my PC was idle though. After doing the above 2 things, I haven't got a BSoD in months :)
My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 960 @ 3.2 GHz
OS: Win 7 Ultimate x64
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 290x
GPU Driver: version 14.301.1001.0
PSU: 950 watts.
RAM: 12GB
*EDIT: It turns out that my CPU was overheating. I replaced the cooler with a more powerful one and everything has now been working great for several months.
