My Computer crashes all of the time, even in notepad with my Nvidia ASUS GTX 480 gfx card. I've yet to figure out what is wrong with the card, I've sent it back to the manufactures... aka ASUS Support. They ran tests, saying it is fine... and sent it back to me. Right now, I am using my old Nvidia 9800gtx+ 512mb Video Memory and it doesn't crash but it also isn't best optimized for gaming. My entire computer is very new, and has not had many hardware issues up till the point of buying this expensive $500.00 graphics card. If anyone has any idea of what could be possible, I read online that maybe the ASUS Motherboard isn't compatible with the ASUS Nvidia 400-500gtx series. I'm horribly disappointed, because this may cause me to actually buy an entirely new computer. If anyone has any idea what may be the issue... please share with me, but before... you must read my Computer Specifications for more detailed hardware information.
