I've been having trouble with my computer crashing and believe it to be the GPUs fault, but I'm not completely sure. Possibly even a software problem, not sure.

That power supply should be fine. 650w should be plenty even for some overclocking. Do you have another unit you can try, or maybe use a friends power supply just to test it. You could also try your card on a friends computer as well to see if the problem persists.

If you are overclocking, try going back to stock settings to see if your issues still occour.

Yeah I'm going to try a friends unit with a better power supply. The card is brand new and seems to cause black screens whenever I put the slightest load on it. (games like minecraft and TF2)
