I've got a corsair cx 600 watts psu  it pritty new and I have wiped windows clean and even reinstalled everything. I don't know if it the gpu but it works at gaming and normal computer usage but it did use to mine perfectly but when  I click on the miner now it goes to a black screen and the pc is on most of the time (sometime it goes off). So could it be the gpu because ) I doubt it a psu problem because I tried mining with a rx 460 and it work perfectly it just happens to the rx 470.

Well, it still won't hurt to check it with a different PSU. Moreover, bronze rated PSUs are not so reliable for a 24-hour workload. The better being above Gold rating for PSUs if your purpose is mining.
yea i will check before i buy a new card and have you got any recommendation PSU. also i lowered the power limit in the claymore miner (with -a 2 in the config file) and it seems to be stable (dunno how long for tho) so it does look like a psu problem but it could also be the GPU  Cry

I had this happen with a faulty GPU.
It would display fine in "normal" use, but crash the PC as soon as you'd apply OpenCL load. RMA'd the card, got a new one, no more problem.
seems to be working by lowing the power limit with claymore miner (-a 2 in the config folder) i just hope it not a gpu problem because these  cards are hard to get
