I had a prebuilt computer with the following specs:
MoBo: IPISB-CU
PSU: 350 watt garbage
RAM: 8GB
GPU: Nvidia GT 530
This system wasn't good, so I decided to upgrade. I took apart my old PC, and put it in a new case (CM HAF-912). I also changed the PSU and the GPU.
PSU: Solidgear Neutron 650 W
GPU: Zotac Nvidia GTX 650 Ti
After deleting all the older graphics card drivers and installing new ones from the Nvidia website, I began to experience a lot of problems when I played video games. The screen would turn randomly turn black and then 'recover', the games would freeze (looping the audio over 1 sound) and then crash to desktop, etc. I have tried changing the DVI port I plug my monitor into (as there are 2 on this graphics card), I have reinstalled the drivers, I have removed the card and made sure that it was installed properly, I changed the power connector (from a PCI 2+6 pin connector to a PCI 6 pin connector) and nothing seems to be fixing the problem. The integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS as well. I am not playing graphic intensive games, either. The games I first encountered this on were PAYDAY 2 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm very open to suggestions. Thanks.
