So recently I purchase a new XFX Core Radeon HD 7770 graphics card along with a new power supply:

Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CLHa98DjnLsCFTNp7AodHzUA-A&Item=N82E16814150598&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814150598&ef_id=yWBPyCG-9hYAAFcS:20131206234355:s
Power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed both myself and this is my first graphics card (upgrading from integrated graphics). I installed the drivers from the disk and everything installed successfully. I launched both TF2 and Civilization V and played a little of each and everything seemed to work fine (however I did not play long enough to confirm they both worked 100%). Then I decided to upgrade the drivers to the latest versions using the drivers from the AMD website. After installing these, I played some TF2 and after playing for a little while, I got a blue crash screen. My computer rebooted and this occurred again in TF2. It also has happened in Total War: Shogun 2. I haven't had time to test any other games but I assume the result will be the same. I then tried to revert to the drivers on the disk (I can't confirm they worked before, but they appeared to work fine). So I wiped the drivers using Display Drivers Uninstaller (DDU) and tried to install the drivers from the disk. After the process, it said an error occurred during installation and the log said the display drivers failed to install. I then attempted again and this time, the drivers just wouldn't finish installing. I have tried this multiple times (once leaving the process overnight) but the installer always gets stuck on one part or another of the installation and will not finish. I do not know if there is a problem with the card, if it is just the drivers, or if I installed the card wrong. My computer is an HP Pavilion p6510y. Thanks
