I recently bought a new MSI Twin Frozr 3 2Gb GTX 660.
I opened up borderlands 2 and i was switching my resolution to 1080p, and then I heard a buzzing noise (in headphones) everything was on but the PC wasnt responding.
I then tryed Saints Row 4 And as soon as it loaded to where it was almost in the game, it did the same thing, everything is on, no response.
I did a memory check already and thats not it. I checked my mobo when it happened - no vga error
Temps are fine 30c idle
I have The new drivers
Specs of PC:

CPU -- AMD a6 3650 apu fm1

MOBO -- Biostar Ta75m

Ram -- 1600 ddr3 Team group ram 2x4gb

GPU -- MSI Twin Frozr GTX 660(non ti) 2gb

PSU -- Velocity Micro 550w

Please help I want to find out if its the card or something else.
Im gonna try wiping the drivers and getting older ones. Will update on that too.

^ Sounds like a PSU issue.


The 660 needs at least 24 amps on the 12+ rail.

Check the specs on your power supply sticker, oem is often overrated crap.
