Just do whatever you do when it usually crashes. See if you can make it crash. Also, did you ever give me the voltages from BIOS? Also, what PSU do you have, Manufacturer and Model?

No, but I have checked them before I made a thread on here when I was troubleshooting on my own and they were fine.
It's an EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze
Essenbe, if I don't get any more crashes for a day or so, is it safe to assume there is a hardware problem? And if so what should I do then?
I would like to know what card you are using now. If it does not pull close to the same power as the 290X, I would be hesitant. Other than that, I would think the problem was the card. With the bus error, I honestly was thinking the Motherboard, but if it can run that card, I would not think so now. But, I would give it some time and do some graphically demanding things with it to be certain.
It's an old NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS. Iv'e been playing games on it for the past hour now and it's working fine, unlike it did with the Radeon R9 290X, so I think we've found the problem.
I ordered the card off Amazon so I have been able to organise a replacement. I have arranged for it to be picked up but I am able to cancel the pick up if it still crashes.

So my replacement graphics card arrived and it working a treat. However I have just had a completely different crash, the computer just rebooted without any buzzing or freezing. This is what I found in the event logs:
The AODDriver4.2.0 service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor APIC ID: 0

hello, Lucid92. I hope you can bear with me. I am on a different computer aand don't have everything I need. But, I believe the AODDriver is a part of AMD Overdrive.
Iv'e deleted AMD overdrive but it's still happening. It's only crashed once today though which is good.
