I just purchased an MSI R9-270X, and I'm getting an issue where the screen just randomly goes white, or sometimes into a neat checkered pattern. Recovery seems impossible and requires a full system reboot. It's only happened when I've been browsing the internet (I use Chrome), never when I've been gaming (and I certainly have been putting the card through its paces with Dragon Age Inquisition). There's no corruption or artifacting of any kind beforehand, it just very suddenly and cleanly goes white or checkered. I'm uncertain if this is a driver issue, card defect issue, or possibly even a monitor issue, as the monitor is brand new also, though restarting the monitor doesn't seem to help. Thoughts?
