Installed Graphics card, now crashing

[jc46124]

Howdy,

I recently got a quick build throw together, as my old build's PSU went out and was kinda getting dated anyhow, I salvaged a few fans, and my graphics.

I put my graphics card in my new build. Which is as follows,

AMD A-10 7860K
W/ Radeon R7 Graphics
12 compute cores 4 CPU 8GPU

ASRock FM2 A88X Extreme 6+

A 550 Watt PSU.

8 gigs of Ballistix Ddr3 @ 1866 on one stick.

The graphics card is a Radeon Vision Tek HD 7950 w 3G.


The problem is, after proper installation, my pc will get all the way to desktop in a couple seconds from a cold boot, and the display willl switch to a few different resolution for a couple seconds then settle on one.
I'll try to play a game or do a simple task like open a folder or a webpage at which point, I won't be able to do anything to the webpage such as type or even open an additional folder, soon after the pc will meet a blue screen saying the pc ran into a problem and will restart. With no error code.

I attempted to disable the onboard Graphics chip set in BIOS to no avail, now it takes a lot longer to get to desktop and when I try to open just steam, the pc does the same thing.

Yes, I understand my graphics card is a couple years old, however when I was building the new pc I didn't have any additional funds for a new one.
I will soon be getting a gtx but that's in a feeble months.

The card should run in this system no problem.

Thanks in advance

Check the power to the video card is firm
Check that the fans are spinning
.
If that fails try:

Try booting in to safe mode
Uninstall everything associated with the graphics card and drivers
Go and DL the latest WHQL drivers. Install them (do not install the extras)

Also as a general rule, always clean your PC
clear out %temp% and %windir%\temp
run malwarebytes anti-malware
For HDs (not SSD) in a CMD window run chkdsk /f/r
For HDs (not SSD) and then when defrag the HD.

Now I'm getting
"Bad System confit info"
Error.

Now upon a forced hard reset
I got
"IRQL not less or equal"

Never had these types of problems with just putting a graphics card in before

Continue with the steps above.
It could be a bad card, but new video cards being DOA is moderately rare. Most likely an issue with your system which I was trying to talk you through.
