No, as in it has too little power. If the computer runs fine without the card, you could get into contact with the manufacturer, and if it's still in warranty then RMA it for repairs/replacement.

The computer isn't under warrantly but the card is...
Btw, you meant to say that the psu isn't supplying enough power for the gpu to work correctly, right? How come then the card worked perfectly for a month or so on the same psu? Also, since then, I've not added any new hardware which would reduce the power supply to the card.
Ps: Don't take it as an offense to your idea, i just want to know the reason for such abnormal psu behaviour..
Im still putting the two together the graphics card started malfunctioning after the reinstall correct?
@mckill
re-installation of what? Drivers..? It just happened.. As far as i know, downgrading or upgrading drivers doesn't help..
Those are my two current suspects. The card is what I was talking about, since it is under warranty.
I suspect the PSU because of the crashes during boot-up, and the card since the problem presented itself late.
Okay, it seems that there's no way out instead of opening the case...
I lean toward a power supply issue, too. Yours is a very low output power supply.
That is symptomatic of a power problem.
The latest dump blames atikmdag.sys which is probably not the real cause as this driver is up to date. However, it does tell us that your video card is involved. Since you tested your video card and it appears to have passed, that leaves you with looking for things that affect the video card: other drivers, power supply, RAM, etc.I ran FurMark for about 15min (as the temp reached around 78, so quit'ed it), for that duration, no artifacts were found. And here's the dump attached.
I'm so horrified now, i cant afford any other card now..
Update- I shut my pc down. Switched on, still the same black screen after starting windows screen. It still exists.
Your latest dump still shows these outdated drivers loaded on your system. I believe you have since renamed ntdisk.sys.
Have you updated these drivers since the BSOD? The ones in red font are very obsolete and will not work with Win 7. There is an update available for Rt64win7.sys.ntdisk.sys Thu Nov 15 06:40:11 2007
Rt64win7.sys Thu Feb 26 04:04:13 2009
safnt.sys Thu Aug 14 10:37:35 2008
sammon.sys Thu Sep 27 02:18:30 2007
Thanks Carl. The ones in red are no longer in my system. Updated the ethernet's driver.
Still happening.
Would you like me to run that bsod system info. and performance report collection tool again?
Also, do you think the below knowledge base may be has something to do with my problem?
