Hi All,

I am posting it under graphic card but i am not sure if thats the issue really. Here the problem is:
My desktop is: i7 4820, mainboard X79A-GD45 Plus (MS-7760), 8 GB RAM (Kingston), graphic card MSI GTX780.

Some time ago I had some problems with power supply (Corsair AX750), it had a problem to start and finally has stopped to react at all so I purchased a new one. After switch to a new one - computer starts and looks okay, but during Windows 7 start it resets. Whataver I have tried - old Windows version recovery, etc didnt work. However - it ran properly under safe mode.

I have decided to reinstall Windows. Everything was fine at the begining till installation of graphic card drivers - issue repeated exactly the same way. Same as before - safe mode works fine. What even more interesting - I am even able to increase resolution in safe mode.

It looks as hardware issue of my graphic card (likely due to power supply issue) however I would like to be sure thats the case (I would expect that card to not work at all in that case) + I would like to check if there is nothing else impacted (like Mainboard) as it might drive different decisions what to do next with my desktop.

I would appreciate your help to understand what is going on :) thx in advance

Only way to rule out issues with the video card, test it in another system that can run it, if issue follows card, bad card. Or try a different video card with the same power draw as yours.

Otherwise you will just have to replace everything else around it and see if anything fixes the issue.
