I recently replaced my Nvidia Quadro FX 3450 with an Asus HD 7770(http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_558&item_id=050283) Bought from here. When I first popped in the new graphics card, I tried installing drivers from the CD that was included in the box which gave me the blue screen, and restarted my PC. I ran updates on my PC through Windows Updates and that seemed to fix my problem. I was able to install the drivers from my CD. When I start playing a game, I would randomly have Horizontal Grey strips appear on my screen and crash my computer. Only way out of this is to hold down the power button on my PC. Any suggestions? This only happens when i'm playing a game, but never happened when i'm watching youtube, or doing anything else on my PC.
