I bought a new GPU a few months back and I am having a few problems with it. Ever since I installed it, my computer will run fine for a while and then the screen will go black but not turn off (my PC doesn't turn off). I have tried to recover it but everything I've tried doesn't work. I have been monitoring the temperature of my PC when I play a game and the Motherboard and CPU temps get to around 70-80 degrees Celsius, while my GPU only gets to around 50.
 
Specs

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k
GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon 7850 2Gb OC Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3
PSU: XFX 550w
RAM: 2x HyperX Genesis 4Gb
HDD 1: Kingston 64Gb
HDD 2: 500Gb
 
What make of 7850 is it?

This sound exactly like the bad capacitor issue that's been plaguing various brands of 7870/79XX recently including my Sapphire 7870 which is away for RMA as I type this.
