Is it possible that when I turn my four case fans on full power that this can cause my card to freak out? Would this be a voltage problem? I have a 430 watt Antec power supply.

HooHa go NE PA :)

Anyway it can be a spectrum of problems like a faulty PSU, improperly seated HSF, etc. I know someone can shine more light onto this issue :)
 
turn 3 fans on instead of 4, see if you have the same problem.
if so, try 2, if still try 1.

if it still has the problem id associate that with a faulty PSU as opposed to something not seated correctly.
is the card getting its own power line? or sharing with other components?
my gpu has a dedicated line from the psu. i like that.
 
I changed it to it's own line so I'll see how that works. Thanks guys. :)
