I reinstall win 7 SP1 from win 7, and graphics card (Sapphire HD6670) was not detected.

Then I upgraded the bios and driver, it worked on games and stuff.
After a few days, it started crashing with blue screen and error message
“Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.”

System Config
Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M LX PLUS
CPU: Intel Core i5-2320
GPU: sapphire hd 6670 1gb ddr3
RAM: kingston 2 x 8GB 1333Hz
PSU: cooler master extreme 2 475

I had reinstalled windows and latest graphics card driver several time, still getting the same problem even watching youtube.

I gave up and brought a new GT 730 2GB DDR5 64bit, i got 1 short 3 long beep and black screen as it started up. When I put the HD6670 back, it was able to turn on(of course crashing and blue screen remain).

thank you for your time...what went wrong ?!!!

Honorable
Try clean removing both Nvidia and AMD drivers, then reinstall the Nvidia drivers and card.
I think your 6670 is dead, and the drivers may be interfering with the Nvidia card.
Other things to try would be another known working card, maybe borrowed from a friend, and the 730 in another known working computer.
