Screen goes blank after booting

It went absolutely fine. Went into device manager, uninstalled the drivers for both cards showing (Its a 1 card with two GPUs on it), restarted and apparently it just reinstalled the Catalyst drivers that I still had on there. CCC is still there and working, tried a couple of game benchmarks and performed as expected.

I'd downloaded the latest official and beta drivers, as well as the latest BIOS to flash my mobo with as well just in case, but didn't need any of them!

Are you on Windows 7 or Windows 8?
 
I have installed the 14.3 beta drivers again and they installed fine with no blank screens but I get terrible random screen flicker where the screen flickers and changes colour and sometimes causes a blue screen.

The 280x require 1xPCI-E 6pin and 1xPCI-E 8pin I believe? And the Jeantech Storm despite being a "so-called" 700W PSU, it only comes with 2xPCI-E 6 pin I think?

Also Jeantech is not exactly know for quality...they alright for general PC usage, but not so much in terms of reliability for PC with heavy workload (your particular unit isn't even rated for 80Plus), such as gaming with high power-consumption graphic cards and CPU.
 
When putting the manual fan control to 100% everything is fine just out it a 100 maybe if I lower it a bit still might be ok so it seems heat is the issue.

Now I just need to know if it's the card or the Drivers not doing their job properly

Sounds like the cooler is not properly attached to the GPU, what make is it?

Well, the problem you got at the moment may or may not be PSU related (PSU isn't just about having enough output, but having stable power outputs is also important), but personally I wouldn't trust that Jeantech PSU with any gaming graphic card that require more than a single PCI-E 6 pin.

Try to see if you can resolve your current issue without PSU change first...if not, change to a better brand PSU with good reviews it would still be doing your PC a favour in the long run, whether it would resolve your current issue or not (provided that your pocket ain't tight).
 
Uninstalled drivers using driver fusion and reinstalled the 13.4 betas better than before games don't go off just screen flickers now and again and a few slow downs in games.

So guess it is a driver issue.
 
Are these figures correct for the default settings I have not changed anything myself. Just been installed and uninstalling drivers.

For a DCu TOP yes it is, it has the memory clocked to 1600Mhz. if the memory IC's are only 1500Mhz rated than that might be your problem, run it at 1500Mhz, see if that helps.
 
Does having a 144Hz monitor have anything to do with the screen flickering?

I have set the refresh rate in CCC to 144Hz it was on 60 before I have playing a game for about 10-15 minutes the first 2 minutes the problem was the same and then it stopped need to test it for a longer period I hope it is sorted but need to know if it is the monitor refresh rate causing issues.

I don't know, someone with a 144Hz screen would.
 
Hmmm hopefully someone else can shed some light on this?

Also does anyone know how the Asus Warranty works? if they see that the card is faulty and issue a replacement do you have to send your card back first and then they sent you the replacement out?
 
I'm swapping out the power supply should work if not I have got in touch with Asus see what they say
 
I have changed the PSU and checked memory and my games are still crashing so I guess the GPU has had it only worked for a month
