I got this card about a month ago and I have been having a lot of problems with blue screening. It blue screens and then it fixes itself and then turns on, but when I try and play it again it blue screens again. Now I am not very computer savvy, but my games work with games like Darksiders, Minecraft, Garry's mod, League of Legends. When I get into games like Just Cause 2, Diablo III it starts blue screening. I was told by the people who helped me install it that it should be fine, but I would like some help figuring this blue screening problem out because it is really annoying me.
 
Solution
BSODs can be caused by several things. One is bad memory. Run memtest on each stick of memory individually in the 1st slot for at least 1 FULL pass.

Download the .ISO file and use it to burn a CD. Boot to the CD and let it run for the full pass. Then try another stick.

If you have registry errors causing issues, run CCleaner and have do the Clean and Registry portions both.

Did you remove any old gfx driver and then install the new driver? If not, uninstall the current driver and run Driver Sweeper from safe mode (F8). Have it remove any AMD, ATI, and Nvidia GRAPHIC driver remnants it can find. Reboot and install the latest driver for your card and OS...
