Hi, I recently bought a new graphics card and since then everything has seemed to go downhill, I don't know whether it is the Graphics card or just my computer, I'm not that good with computers so I may need some explaining but I can learn quickly. I'll use an example, I was playing Skyrim and every time I open a door (Generate a new level, I suppose.) It would black screen, and come back on. But sometimes it wouldn't and it would just restart the whole computer. I'm using a Nvidia Ge Force GTX 460 graphics card.

I'm not the best with specs, so I hope this picture will suffice.

[Edit] Also, I don't know how to exactly explain this but it seems to...Hang? The sound makes a buzzing sort of noise and it freezes. Sorry if I can't really explain well..

It's called Artic Red but it has 550 650 and 750 on the box, and a small green circle on the '750' Mark. But I'm pretty sure it's a 650. Sorry If im not that helpful :(

I am not confident about the PSu but if its a 650 unit then it should be able to handle the card.

BTW is it happening only in skirim or in other games too ?

It seems to happen on alot of different games too, but Lately it has stopped mostly and is mostly just hanging for a few seconds if that makes sense

I think the GPU has some problems if you have the warranty then replace it.
