AMD phenom ii x4 960T 3.0GHz processor
8 GB DDR3 1066
ASUS EAH6770/DI/1GD5 Radeon HD 6770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 (got lazy and copy pasted this part)

That PSU should be plenty for a 6770 as it only draws like 100W. It may also be the RAM. Download memtest and see if it blue screens when you run it.

thanks guys i am pretty sure it is my RAM i ran tests with it and it says it has a bunch of errors and i sent in an RMA already. oh and i did not do anything with windows
