Hello, I just recently bought a GTX 750 Ti SC from EVGA, a AMD FX 8320, and an ASRock 970 pro3 r2.0. I believe i downloaded all the drivers and the computer works fine for browsing the the internet and has no problems like that. But, When I launch game, I will enter the games menu and everything will be fine. but, As soon as i get into the gameplay or join server my computer will freeze and go to a blank screen and i hear a buzzing sound through my headphones. I tried playing the same game with 8g of DDR3 ram instead of 16 and i still crashed, (I need to restart my computer as their is no way of getting off the blank screen) . So i was wondering , Maybe its the PSU. My current PSU is 450W and i thought maybe i need more because the graphics card maybe nee-dent of more power so it crashes the computer. please Help Me.

Could you please state the make and model of your PSU? It'd benefit us further if we knew your full systems specs - case, OS drive(s) and peripherals connected to it inclusive of your GPU's model number since the FTW version requires some additional power and the make and model number of your rams. Are you using mixed or matched sets to go for a 16GB's of cumulative ram?

Try and uninstall your drivers using display driver uninstaller and reinstall using the latest drivers and if the latest drivers were what are causing the issue with gameplay then revert to a previous known stable driver. Although it seems like your GPU is the culprit, rule out your PSU by borrowing a unit of similar wattage(or higher) from a friend and trying it out...

Although it seems like your GPU is the culprit, rule out your PSU by borrowing a unit of similar wattage(or higher) from a friend and trying it out on your system to see if the issue is replicated.

Please include your OS into the mix.
