A fresh install of Windows 7 would eliminate any software problems (avoid driver cleaner as your only asking for trouble) but I suspect it's your crappy PSU that's giving you the grief here.

why avoid driver cleaning software?

Corsair and XFX probably both manufactured by Seasonic.;)

yes they are also antec. waiting on a decent psu to come. will reinstall windows when i get a storage medium to backup. removed old drivers and updateing to 11.5 did nothing. anyone got anyother ideas.

Try running Furmark or 3D win mark Vantage and see how these fair, is there any possibility of testing the card in another machine or testing another PSU.

only got one machine. waiting on a new psu to come.

how long should i run 3d mark and fur mark for?
 
i have now got upto date drivers, fresh windows and benchs/temps are fine.

i am thinking it is a power problem, when my new psu gets here i can check that. the games i play mainly are written below, crashs happen at random times, sometimes after couple hours game play.

games below each crashed at least once:
c&c 3
second life
assassins creed 123


these games below i can play for hours with no problem:
counterstrike
d&d online
nfs world
lotro

All this nonsense about cheap PSU's...

I have the same one (all be it 650w) and have an OC'd CPU and GPU never a problem. It's probably producing less than that, but the fact is it could be producing 300W and it'd still be plenty.

Never has been a problem have always mixed cheap PSU's with expensive components all the paranoia comes from AMD/ATI/Nvidia as a sort of disclaimer.

Have you considered it may not be your GPU?

I'd put money on it being your CPU.

Download "OOCT" give it a whirl.

Assasins Creed killed off my xbox even with the x clamp mod, and that was CPU related.

If your whole PC crashes it is most likely your CPU, usually GPU crashes should bring up a driver error and revert you back to the desktop.

ooct, heaven, furmark, ati tool all show graphic to be fine.

still geting crashs in games.

is it worth updateing graphic bios?

the new psu came, although the graphic crashs are still happening.
will flashing the bios fix it?
what are the chance of it being a hardware problem?
