Power Supply... are you over 350W?

Was the installation of the video drivers done with you're firewall and antivirus disabled?( While disconnected to the net)?

350 isn't enough. you should get a 400+
when you run that kind of card it usually suggests 350, but, you really need more like a 400-500 watt to be on the safe side. the computer i'm going to build will need a 650 watt psu so i can be on the safe side of never overloading it lol
