    It is pretty obvious that the problem is related to the new graphics card - so, run the following stress test to confirm it.

    Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

    However - this problem could be due to a low-quality PSU messing up the power that the graphics card uses.

    What brand/model PSU are you using?

    Its an ADW 50063
    PeakLoad 500w
    I suppose it might be, if I run this test and the computer goes to blue screen, what do you suggest I do?

    Depends - is your graphics card still under warranty?

    If so then get it replaced.

    If not, then consider replacing the PSU as it could be causing your problems.

    One of these is good - Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

    so you suggest I upgrade my PSU? could you explain in detail please (Im fairly new at getting physical with computers) I ran the benchmark a while back and it caused a bluescreen around 90 degrees, not sure what this means but I ran it before.

    The Card Was bought off an ebay seller who is suggesting it might be the power supply as well, he is researching as well.

    The quality of a PSU is not just related to the amount of power it (theoretically) can put out.

    Factors such as the "cleanness" of the power supplied (ie; no spikes in voltage) come into play too.

    See here for a very detailed article on the whole thing - Power Supply Information and Selection

    So, a bad PSU can cause BSODs etc, especially if your new graphics card is trying to draw more power than the PSU can handle.

    However, now that I know this

    In my opinion - it was a broken graphics card to start with. One way to test this is to use it in another machine (preferably one with a good PSU) and see if it causes problems there.

    well if it sounds fishy, here is the message when I told him about my problems.


    "Ok, so I've been researching this for you and this is what I can tell. The error code is definitely something to do with the drivers (since it works normally until you try to do
    something graphics intensive, and then it is lacking something that makes it crash). I would
    recommend first running Windows Update and seeing if that resolves anything. Second, you may
    need to reinstall WoW, as it may have installed information which was specific to your old
    graphics card. Re-installing might resolve those issues. Third, make sure that the fan is
    working and the power supply is properly plugged in. I don't think the problem is physical,
    but it may have something to do with the power supply. Also, do you have the monitor plugged
    into the graphics card's output plug? Let me know if any of this resolves the issues.
    Thanks, Taylor"

    All Quoted, So I don't think his intension's were to sell a faulty card but I will test the card on another computer to see what happens.

    From that it doesn't seem like his intentions were to sell a faulty card.

    However, this is not a driver problem - the drivers were up-to-date [July 10 2010] and the stress test caused a BSOD (sign of hardware problem).

    Run the stress test on the other PC too (make sure you have installed the most up to date drivers first - Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers)

    I think he was meaning "Ebay is otherwise known as job security for computer technicians" - ie; parts bought from it are often faulty.
