My computer randomly does this.

Replaced ram, harddrive, and did a clean install of windows.
Sometimes it works fine for days.
Tried different graphics drivers, still the same.
Was thinking graphics card, but I can play for hours and nothing happens.
It is always in a different colour though.
Any ideas?
I am trying to run it without the card for now, wondering if it might be a powersupply issue.
Thanks.

Have you tried a different display cable between the pc and monitor..

One symptom of a funky display cable is different colours and when wiggling the cable it either comes right or changes to different colour..
 
Forgot to mention, pc freezes completely when this happens.
Numberlock light stops responding as well.
 
I had something similar -not exactly, but similar- and it turned out that the motherboard's RAM slots were fcky.
I guess I'm saying: Don't discard the possibility that the M/B itself might be the culprit ;)

Good luck!
I hope you figure it out soonest!
:)
 
I had a PSU issue, everything was working great for a few months and then out of the blue my pc would just go full black screen and all the fans would run at 100% and go mad... I would turn off my pc, give it a few seconds, and restart it...all would work fine for a few hours then it got worse and worse until you couldn't do anything...

I replaced my PSU with a brand new one and its been perfect since then, very strange but it happens.
 
PSU, Motherboard, Graphics RAM. My guess is the latter.
 
No mining, its not the best card.

Odd thing is when I run Furmark it stays cool, below 70.
No freezing or anything.
But later I was checking my email, and it happened.
Just a bit strange.
I had faulty graphics cards before, this just feels different.
Still thinking it might be PSU or faulty pcie port.
It works fine on onboard graphics.
 
Seems to me like your Motherboard is busy dying.

Ideally if you can get a similar card, swap it out and see what happens.
 
Remove the graphics card and clean the slot/pins, reseat it and check again.

Please try totally removing your graphics card drivers, then install Crimson version 17.7.2 - had some success with this a few months ago with a very similar problem on a R9 270 setup.
 
motherboard probably, seems to be the most likely culprit,
just as a test, maybe pins on the Motherboard are touching your case randomly?
so try run your rig without a case?

had something similar before happen to me.
 
BGA soldering issue, blocking the bus, or faulty chipset. Try isolate by using a different GPU.
