It could be the PSU.
Yes, the Motherboard has 4 Pin fan headers, use the BIOS to set fan profiles, i will show you a BIOS screenshot later to show you how.
I keep it under 70c
Cooler Master Seidon 120V it keeps it under 70c @ 1.44v; 4.6Ghz stress testing, pretty good for a £40 cooler (FX-8350)
4pin Molex connectors? are you using an adapter?
On the fan cable there should be a small 3 or 4 pin connector, use those to connect the fan directly to the motherboard, when you see the connector you will see where they can be attached to the motherboard.
Once you have done that go into the BIOS, in the Monitor tab scroll down until you see "Chassis Fan Profile" if you set it to 'Turbo' or 'standard'... it will give you a predefined profile, if you set it to Manual you can set the upper and lower temperatures profile yourself, it may say "Chassis Upper Temperature" and "Chassis Lower Temperature", thats not actually right, it implies its measuring the Case Temperature and adjusting the fan accordingly, its not, its measuring the CPU Temperature, so set your Chassis Upper Temperature to 57c and Chassis Lower Temperature to 40c, Chassis Fan Max duty Cycle% to 100% and Chassis Fan Min Duty Cycle% to 50 or 60%.
Leave the CPU Q-Fan settings Disabled.

the case fan is a 4 pin molex connector, you know the old hdd power conector.
also the machine bsod'd again i didnt see what the error was though. could it be a driver issue? i dont think it would have been heat as it was basicaly doing nothig. im kinda thinking maybe it was the psu, but even then it wasnt drawing lots of power as it wasnt doing anything.

Download the latest drivers if you haven't already
Download DDU and extract it a Desktop folder
Unistall the existing Drivers as normal in widows installer, reboot.
Once back into Windows Run DDU as Admin, chose Yes to boot into safe mode, once in safe mode it should run automatically, select AMD from the display driver drop down menu, check all check boxes and click on the top button ladled "Clean and restart"
Once back into Windows install the driver you just downloaded, reboot...
That MAY fix the problem.
Also look to invest in a Corsair Hydro H80 if you can fit in case. @ £35.99 inc VAT very cheap.

help!
Yes, the extra step is to get rid of any potentially corrupted files.
If you havent already please check the card is seated properly in the PCIe and that the two 6 Pin power connectors are also securely fitted.
Other than that can you try the card in a different system, or do you have your old card?
card is seated fine, its outputting picture, i do have the old card.
also i had created o new thried for this http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=26998837&posted=1#post26998837 i presumed this weild driver behaviour isnt psu or anything related.
card wise i have the old 5550 a 4650 here too and the 750ti still sat in its unopened box. as por the other chaps suggestion im going no try the 14.4 driver see it that installs okay.
