Recently I purchased a "Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 "Toxic" 512MB GDDR5" and when I play games like counterstrike source, dawn of war 2 or farcry 2 I get severe artifacting all over the place and occasionally crashes. Also when I try to watch a video the screen goes black then comes back on with VPU recover saying the driver stopped responding.
Im not sure what the problem is, is it a faulty piece of hardware or is something in my system breaking it? I have a 550w PSU with 30A on the 12v rail (Is that not sufficient and causing the problem?)
