I built this computer a little over a year ago and have never had any problems or errors. I first had an AMD GTX 460 graphics card but due to performance issues I installed a Radeon HD 7950 about a month ago. This is when the issues have started to occur. Durring start up the computer will freeze and nothing works, when I restart the computer everything turns on but the screen is black and the CPU fan doesn't turn on. Restarts occur whenever I am doing anything, running idle at 38C, browsing the web, playing youtube videos, playing video games (world of warcraft, League of Legends, Battle Field 3), within the first few minutes of start up or even hours of use. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It has been a while since ive had any problems after I took the RAM out. My computer is back on the fritz sadly. The screen looks like its going haywire and I get a loud buzzing noise from the speakers. Could this be because of my graphics card?
