GTS250 crashing

[Sta!nless]

Rig in the sig. Ran an 8800GTS 640 and a 9600GT without problems whatsoever. Installed a new GTS250 and It starts crashing bad. Black screen, have to hit the restart button.

Uninstalled old drivers, used drivercleaner pro. installed 192.62.

Card idles at 60c.

Games for about 5 mins gets to about 71c then crashes. I ran rivatuner and set the fan to 100%. That helped a little. card still ran at 65c but it still crashes, but last a lot longer.

Thoughts?

Could be a power problem, not sure.

I've got an XFX GTS 250, though on the box it says :

nVidia minimum power supply requirements:

" Minimum 450W or greater system pwoer supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 24A)

XFX recommended power supply requirements:

" Non-SLI: 630Watt or greater
" SLI: 680 Watt or greater

Check with your power supply, maybe it's a faulty card.

I think my northbridge was getting too hot. I turned up all the case fans to cool the case down more, and I didn't have any crash problems yet. I just inatalled a small 40mm CPU fan over my northbridge heatsink. I'm going to see how that works.

As far as the PSU goes, I'm sure it's fine. It carries +12v @ 52A.
