Red / Green blocks all over screen followed by a graphics driver failure

I would like to stop dumping money into parts without any test that shows it is faulty. I have already tried a fresh install of Windows, followed by a fresh install of the Driver. If I spend anymore money on parts I will have purchased an equivalent machine and possibly end up in the same position at this point.

I have multiple hard drives, I could just move the game to another drive but red/green blocks on the screen that temporarily go away when the graphics card is replaced are a clear indication of graphics memory faults.

My original card is so bad now that when I put it back in the red dots take up 75% of the screen from post through to Windows. The POST area is not even reading off the hard drive yet or from any drivers.

You changes your mind quickly... I am confused.

This one

I have already tested the power supply during production even.

The manufacture gave no details on the RMA, they sent me a replacement as soon as they received my bad one. I run 1920x1080 and here are my specs.

I had tried that driver for awhile. I ended up purchasing a new power supply since it was the cheaper option and it appears to have resolved the problem. 10+ hours of Metro Last Light on Ultra. Maybe GPU-Z and HW Info wasn't showing me all the details I needed to see there was a power problem. Is there a program that provides amperage readings along with voltage?
