What kind of cpu/ram
what kind of power supply are you using? you'll need at least a 300/350
watt good make.
do you have alot of periphials hooked up?

Have you tried taking the card out and reinstalling it?.

I have the same problem with my Powercolor 9800Pro, like 6 months now.
Once every 10 days it happens, still no idea why...if I press Reset it´s
gone..

Most likely a case PSU thats insufficent - you need either a good quality
300w PSU from someone like Antec or a cheapy 400w
(or higher)

Use this as a guide to how much power your PC needs.
Is your machine overclocked?
Try using motherboard monitor or similar to see what the voltages are doing.

Why not smell out the rear end of the computer is there any strange
smell that would notice a problematic psu...
