The only thing you're doing is wearing out the fan bearings and pushing up your electricity bill.

I bought a Asus R290 graphics card a few days ago. I'm getting the "black screen " problem. I'm trying to find out if the problem can be replacated under certain conditions . Thats why i need a burnin test.

Using "burn-in" programs such as FurMark is really useless because they don't really "stress" stuff anymore - your video card will start to throttle down at certain point regardless of your cooling setup. Just play normal games like BF4 and such.
