Hello friends, I have been struggling with my new system ever since I finish building it, mainly the GPU. It is the GTX 650 Ti 2GB and every once in a while it would have the 'NVIDIA Driver stopped responding and recovered' pop-up and sometimes it causes B.S.O.D. I would think that it's not receiving enough power from my PSU or the GPU is just faulty because when I removed the GPU and used the on-board graphics there were no problems at all. Here are my specs:-
CPU: Intel i5 3570k
GPU: GTX 650 Ti 2GB
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Cooler: Hyper212 EVO

Corsair makes excellent power supplies which can generally put out a bit more than they're actually rated for, and 600w in itself is more than enough for a GTX 650Ti, or pretty much any single-card GPU setup for that matter. I'm not sure what's specifically causing your nVidia BSOD issues, but it isn't from a lack of power.
