Hey I just added all new stuff in my computer and I can't play any games without it freezing and turning off. Sometimes it will it will say the graphics card restored itself but after maybe 10 minutes it freezes and then I have to restart my computer. I don't know what is wrong, I ran a stress test and everything worked perfectly I also uninstalled and re-installed all my drivers and that didn't help either. I'm not that computer savy so I hope i'm not doing something stupid but this is really pissing me off so if someone could me advise that would be great.
PTBK, Welcome to SF. You've come to the right place. Can I have you fill out the rest of your spec's, especially the power supply make and model.

I was hoping you would post some weak PSU but clearly that's not the case. Is this a 7700, 7750 or 7770 model and who makes it? Does this GPU have dual power plugs and are they both firmly seated in the card and to the PSU?

Try rolling the drivers back to a previous version and see if the instability still occurs?

Now you will need to make sure you can view hidden folders on your system by going to the Control
Panel-->Folder Options-->View tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives." Close.
Go to your "My Documents" folder and open the AppData folder. From there open the Local folder->ATi->ACE then right click the Profiles document (Not the folder yet) and tick edit.
Highlight everything and tick Copy. Close.
Now open the Profiles folder then right click and tick edit on the profile (that you named earlier). Delete the entries in there, then paste in what you copied just earlier.
