What kind of cpu/ram
what kind of power supply are you using? you'll need at least a 300/350
watt good make.
do you have alot of periphials hooked up?

Have you tried taking the card out and reinstalling it?.

I have the same problem with my Powercolor 9800Pro, like 6 months now.
Once every 10 days it happens, still no idea why...if I press Reset it´s
gone..

Most likely a case PSU thats insufficent - you need either a good quality
300w PSU from someone like Antec or a cheapy 400w
(or higher)

Use this as a guide to how much power your PC needs.
Is your machine overclocked?
Try using motherboard monitor or similar to see what the voltages are doing.
