I recently bought a GTX 560 Ti and I have installed the most recent drivers.
Still whenever I play a "heavy" game such as Skyrim, MW3, etc... a blue screen tends to appear within the first 5 minutes of gaming. A lot of people blame the PSU but mine is a NOX URANO 600W. Since the minimum requirements for the graphics card are 500W I don't belive the problem is due to the PSU, still I do consider it. Any help would be appreciated.
All power connectors connected properly? Extra 6-pin x2 inserted?

I got a PCI connected and also a 6 pin one with a double bifurcation with two 4 pin ones on the tips. Hope that was not too confusing but that's the best I can explain. One guy told me he had 2 PCI connected and it worked just fine, but my PSU only has one...
If you're talking about 6-pin connector with an extra 2-pin, the 560 Ti has two such headers and both should be connected.
Are these what you mean?

It doesn't matter what is says; both 6-pin headers must be connected. Either from the PSU or, like in your case, with a molex-to-6-pin adapter.

Well, provided that you have your motherboard 20/24-pin main ATX power and 4/8-pin CPU power connectors hooked up, everything should be good!
Just looked up your PSU and it DOES have two PCI-E connectors like the ones I linked on the picture above... better use those and not the molex-to-6-pin converters.

Blue tipped cable which says CP? Pics or I'm not clear what it is Is it coming from the PSU, the case or what?

PSU. I can't get a picture of it but it is a 4 pin blue cable. There are two of the the PC one which is connected and de CP on which is not. Both of the cables come from the same "main" cable
Umm, those look like the CPU power cables! Plug them in, there must be either an 8-pin (then plug both) or a 4-pin (then only one will fit) header somewhere next to the CPU (on the motherboard).

there is only one which is only a 4 pin plug. But that one is occupied by the PC one. Should I unplug it and plugh the CP one?
What's a PC plug? How many pins? What colour are the wires on it?
Okay, I'm starting to get confused. Let's list all the important plugs:
1) ATX power - the wide 20-pin plug with an additional 4-pin next to it, must go in the same slot if there're 24 pins, if there're 20, leave the extra 4-pin hanging
2) Graphics card power - 2 6-pins that I linked earlier, you said you connected them
3) CPU power - must get one of the blue 4-pin ones in there, only one of them will fit due to the geometry of the plug.

yeah everything seems to be in order. Anything else that may cause blue screen? Maby it is a factory defection?
You STILL get blue screens?! Can you take a pic of your build and post it here, maybe check for some other cable issues...
Hell, maybe it IS the PSU... still unlikely, though. What about your RAM? Try cleaning it (use soft eraser on the contacts).

I recently bought a GTX 560 Ti and when I play games I get blues screen in the first 2 minutes of gaming. A lot of people blame the PSU but mine is a capable NOX URANO 600W. Please help.
Did you plug TWO 6 pin connectors from your PSU directly into your GTX 560 Ti? You'd be surprised how many people forget to do it and think that the card will get power from the motherboard.
According to google, your power supply has 43A on 12V rail, so it should be enough.

Yes I did. The SLI one and the PCI one as well. Thank you for your help. And happy Newton's aniversary
Apparently updating the graphics card BIOS can be the solution. But I don't know how to do that.

This is the graphics card full name and it is made by Asus.
Please help
Thank's for the info. Still I'm pretty sure my PSU does not have two of those..
Sure does, I looked it up.

So it's the new 448-core 560 Ti, huh? Interesting. Updating the vBIOS is a rather radical solution... and since the cards just came out, I don't think there's even a newer BIOS available!

From what I have seen is Asus there isn't. They say
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
We don't have such newer BIOS for this model. For your request, I have passed it to the relevant personnel.
Please wait patiently. If we get any update, we will release it in our website.
I don't know what else to do. I guess monday I'll contact the guys from which I bought the graphics card. I hear a lot of people complaining about this. I don't know why would they release an unstable graphics card. Any other ideas occur to you?
