I crashed with the new card today -- there is something else about the system causing the problem. My next best ideas are to try a different mobo and/or a third PSU.
New card arrives in a few days, and then I'll have a few days of testing before I can confidently say if it's something else about my build or my original card was defective. I'll update when I know for sure
Apologies for late update; unfortunately the device experienced a crash again within a couple days of those suggested steps. The old graphics card has been in for a while now again without any issue. I'm at a loss, so I guess I'll be returning the card... but I was lucky enough to grab another...
Thank you!
I will perform that update now!
I had to update the bios for it to support my CPU, so I can say for certain it is on F20. That appears to still be the latest.
I went through this process once before when I first was experiencing the crash, but there has been a new driver version...
