I ended up getting this card a while back ago and had did an overhaul on my pc just about 2 weeks prior to installing it (1100T 32G ram new mobo ect) Within 6 hours of installing the card I suddenly started getting random reboots for unknown reasons. I have a 850W PSU and know for a fact that it is not a problem with the PSU/RAM/Mobo/CPU I did memtest and stress tests on the computer with a diff video card with nothing and had it run for over 10 days with no problems. I put the video card back in and poof blue screens again. It happens even when I have nothing open at all and the card is staying cool and not overheating.

NOTE another user states same problems I am having.

I just want to find a way to fix this or I will just end up buying a new card(even more so cause its only 128 bit x.x)

Do you know if the gpu's Bios has been modded any? You could try to reflash it to stock, and see if that helps. Also check to make sure you mobo bios is up to date.
Have you tested it on a fresh windows install? Sometimes that helps. If you have an extra hdd/ssd laying around you could try that.
But it kind of sounds like a bad card to me.
 
Hello, Sorry you are having issues with your card.

It could just be a faulty component on the card. Have you opened a ticket at xfxsupport.com?

We can cover that under warranty, no problem.
