Hey, I was wondering if I was able to get some help with my computer, I am really knew to PC gaming and had some questions. I purchased a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB GDDR5 graphics card, and I had purchased Metro 2033 and whenever I try to play the game my screen would go black for a little bit, close down Metro 2033, and im left at the desktop. When I would reload back to the game, it cuts my memory from 1033MHz to around 300MHz? I was wondering why this is? When I try and play this game I play at the settings 1080p, 60fps, and at normal graphical settings. My temps dont get that high at all or anything, it just quits out after a little it of playing the game. Was my graphics card a bad buy? Should I save for a different one? Thanks guys

Below Link is where I bought the graphics card

Its cuts in my gpu, yes I have deleted the old driver, im guessing that oc the card is when all of the memory is used up in the gpu? Then no no not really because itll get to hott then overheat, and the only other game that this has happened in is Crysis 3
