specs
X4 640
ASRock N68 vs3 ucc
Antec High Current Gamer 400W
XFX 7770 Double Dissipation ( 4months warranty left )

Saturday the 13nth and sunday the 14nth i lost while gaming once a day signal
to fix this problem i have to reboot my PC my self by holding the power button.
Both moments are captured on camera :

until now ( Tuesday ) i didnt lost signal yet. but i can remember i lost alot times Signal in the summer vakation while the Football Championship.

But still i experience frame skipping in game and alot of lags.

today i was playing 1 battle on world of tanks. there has been several moments of lagg. but 2 moments are the biggest proofs

while i was rendering i went back to my World of tanks. and in my garage my world of tanks started to lagg alot.
( http://youtu.be/T9SzAXBK5f4 )
all the time i was moving my mouse.

those problems occur on windows 8.1 64bit.

before i had win 7 32 bit. and had more problems
- BSOD Atikmdag.sys

- Signal Loss
- Frame skipping + sound
- had once stripes in summer vakation while Football championship


Me have been told that it could be the powersupply :
my card draws 80W full load and my CPU around the same.
my 12V rail has 30Amp and should be fine for my setup.

~~ Thanks in advance ~~

it's difficult. It seems like your card is failing, but it seems like the card core is unstable... this is usually due to a too low voltage... Have you overclocked it at all? It could be due to your PSU not providing stable power because it isn't the best PSU out there... how is your GPU connected to the PSU

Hey thanks for your time !

My GPU is connected with a 6pin PCI-e Power cable.

And it's the 6pin PCI-e from the PSU or is it an adaptor that goes into molex of some sort?

It is an 6 pin PCI-e from the PSU.

u could also search the Antec High Current gamer 400W and see whice connectors it has

im 100%sure it isnt a molex since i builded this system my self :)

Ah okay :)  Have you got another PSU you can test? or do you have a friend that could put the graphics card into their system? also when was the last time you updated the drivers...

If you have a bit of spare cash, you could buy a cheap-ish good PSU like a CX430w or an XFX 450w... If you don't want to take the risk you could get a program such as MSI afterburner and droop the clocks a little bit

Well it's not low quality but it's not amazing :/  Like I said, go into afterburner and drop the coreclocks down by about 10-20mhz and see if that ssolves the problem, drop the memory a little too
