If anybody could help or give advice with this issue it would be great

Im currently using the graphics card Asus GeForce GTX 460 1024MB DirectCU GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

I have only had it less than a month and im getting a lot of problems with it. A problem appearing before where the computers screen would just turn off telling me no signal, and would never switch back on, but I could hear the noises from my speakers were still running fine. After about an hour that problem seemed to solve itself.

Now I can no longer access my computer, each time I log on , my pc will load for less than a minute, then the computer screen will turn off telling me no signal and the computer will reboot. When I uninstall the graphics card drivers and run it without any drivers it runs fine, but the moment i try drivers it starts again. Ive tried drivers from Asus , Nvidia, the disc that came with the graphics card. All of them cause this problem now.

Nothing new has been installed in the last week that could have caused this problem to happen, it just happened out of the blue. Also at one log in, the entire screen seemed to go all distorted like something you would see if a plug going into a tv was loose slightly and it was causing the pictures signal to be very bad. I have checked connections at both sides and both are secured.

If anybody knows whats going on here or can offer any advice I would be very grateful
 
Ok it seems to be the graphics card, Iv installed my old 9600 GT and it works perfectly, no problems. I dont understand how this could have happened I dont overclock and iv never let this card reach over 50 degrees C , suppose I need to ring up and get a replacement.
