I think what Blackbird is getting to is that your PSU may not be up to the challenge. When you upgraded your GPU it may be requiring more Wattage than your last one did. If you didn't change your Power supply at that point it may not be able to support it. If you still have your old GPU and your new one you could start by comparing the Wattage required by them.
