Hi!

First I wanna add that your HP powersupply at 300W might be too weak as this Radeon card have a minimum powersupply recommendation at 400W. Besides, HP powersupplies are'nt the best you can have when it comes to performance and reability. If you are going to replace it? Get a 600 - 700W so you have some headroom for future video card upgrades. Corsair powersupply's are good and does'nt cost that much. Never go cheap on the powersupply! That will punish you sooner or later.

2. Have you tried to reinstall Windows?

3. Have you tried resetting bios to defaults?

4. Have you made sure that the on board Radeon 4200 video chip are disabled in bios? Could be though that the motherboards bios automatically overrules the on board video chip when a real video card are inserted in the card slot. Some bioses does this and some don't.

5. In the worst scenario, the new card are not working as it should. If the old Radeon card that came with the PC still works? That is likely the case. Or that the powersupply are beeing too weak as said.

6. Have you had any possibility to update the video card driver yet?

Blue Beast, that post is unhelpful. If you have nothing to add to the thread, please do not post.

Let's see if we can find the reason behind the BSOD's.
