did you install your graphic card's drivers?

 

[jason9918]

yeah i have 12.9 cata beta drivers. i did an antivirus scan cleaned my registry and seeing if the problems continues.

yeah it just happend again... this is really annoying it happens unexpectedly at random times doing whatever on the pc.. im guessing this is either a psu faulty or gpu? any ideas what could be doing this?

any help would be appreciated

make sure your psu is plugged into the gpu correctly, uninstall 12.9, try one like 12.7,if those dont work, then send them back and get a good psu (I recommend corsair or antec.)

I'd also tell you to check your VGA cable for a short circuit or a cut, it happened to me twice so far, once because of the cable and once because of the monitor itself (but it was an old CRT, I don't think this applies here too)
Also, try using, for example, this benchmark: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
