I would get the blue screen of death stating that I had a problem with my nvlddmkm driver within about 10 seconds of turning on my computer. I then noticed that I always had a logitech usb gamepad plugged into the usb port every time the boot up error occurred. I would unplug the gamepad and the computer would boot up just fine with no errors. I then plugged in an xbox 360 controller and the same problem with booting up would occur. I then tried a little experiment. I unplugged my usb printer and plugged the xbox controller back in and the computer booted again just fine. This appears obvious to me now that it is not a driver problem but a voltage problem, at least in my situation. Please reply if anyone sees any problem with my logic. Thanks.

Alot of psu's, like they are cheap and has like a high wattage. Do you think i should pick up one? I don't have the kinda money for the good ones. well i went to the flea market, It had all these PSU’s. Alot of psu’s, like they are cheap and has like a high wattage.

This is most likely the main problem. With regards to fans, stock fans should be sufficient. From experience, any additional custom fans may impair the airflor of the video card depending on the quality. I would suggest getting a 450 watt psu, remove the custom fan, and see if the problem goes away. make sure to get a good quality psu (antec or thermaltake psus are usually good). 305 watt is definitely not enough, i would suggest getting at least a 450 just to avoid any problems.

I had a 250 watt now i put a 305 watt psu. but i dont think its still not enough because the card requires 350 watt. One thing, i still cant get why did it work when i just installed it and my psu was 250 watt at the moment. But i have my case open. I just felt the card it feels like 80-90 degrees cecius. man im gonna put another fan ontop it. Probably its a heating problem. If it crashes after a while. hi admin i tried that in the last hour.

Have you tried swapping out a power supply and trying a different one? Have you tried removing all non-essential cards (audio cards, tv tuners, even unplug all non-essential usb devices and hard drives)? Just try turning on your computer with the absolute bare minimum essentials. Also too, if it crashes while running 3-D applications, the video card may get hot, so be sure to clean your video card fans and make sure you have enough air flow (try leaving your case open). Hi.

SO when trying to launch games and 3-D applications the video card uses more power and the power supply cannot handle that amount of power, so the video card fails and probably cause a crash. Tell me what you think. Here is what i think, power is probably too low.

But then if it was a power problem, the video card would not have worked. So then what?? After all these this sounds like a power problem.
