I bought a msi p965 motherboard but it died on me twice, I also got a replacement psu because that was found to be faulty (which maybe killed the msi motherboard both times). Anyway I started again with a new psu and the asus p5n-e.

Installed the mobo with new psu and everything seemed fine. Except about 1 week after the install i was watching a movie and the screen went black, sound was still playing but i had to restart, windows said id had a serious error and to try pulling back my graphics card acceleration settings.

Whenever i have full acceleration settings on the graphics card (just from the display properties setting) i get this black screen randomly between 5mins to 2 hours when im watching a movie. When im just browsing the internet and listening to music i have no problems.

Do you think the graphics card could have been damaged? When the first psu blew the old mb maybe it harmed it too? Other than that (the ram works fine in another pc) i guess its either another bad psu or the mb. Any suggestions of what is most likely to be the problem will be gratefully received.
