I've been experiencing consistent driver crashing and potential BSOD whenever I attempt to open basically anything other than the pre-installed, non-updated version of Internet Explorer, or Steam. I get a black screen, followed by a notification that my drivers have crashed and been restarted. It does this several times, before it eventually either gives me back control of the computer (if i manage to close the offending program), or it'll give me a BSOD (x116).
Here's the thing: I just realized last night that my graphics card is the overclocked version of the Radeon R7 265. I only have a 500W power supply, and it's three years old. Is this a problem? Can my computer get BSOD and driver crashing because of a bad power supply?
Current power supply: OCZ ModStream Pro, 500W
Current graphics card: MSi Radeon R7 265
Current motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3
Current processor: AMD Phenom II X2 555, 3.2 GHz
Current RAM: 3 x 2GB PNG 240pin DDR3
