Ok so i have recently recieved a new computer for the household (specs below). Now here's the problem. I've installed the driver software and the card has been recognised but: when i try and run anything that requires a bit of GFX memory the computer goes into "windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your system"

When i try and get my windows aero benchmark score it begins the test then goes into "windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your system." I have'nt changed any BIOS settings, i've had a look at them and can't see anything abnormal, but i can't say i'm an expert on BIOS.

System Specs

ASRock CONROE 1333-1394
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ Stock
250GB SATA II HDD
Geforce 8600GT
Onboard Audio
19" TFT Monitor

Make sure the card is seated correctly.

Try updating the drivers from the manufacturers website.

Check that you psu is capable of providing enough power for the card.
