geforce 7600 gs Problems.....

[BuZd]

Ive had this computer for awhile and i wanted to upgrade so i install:

agp geforce 7600 gs (512mb)
1 gig of ram
and logisys(total power 330w | max output 480w) ps480d powersupply

I install the parts and install the drivers. The cpu resets itself a
soon as the drivers get done after the restart I get a black scree
with no boot, so i return it for the geforce(the first one wa
visiontek)

I install the card and then get a black screen everytime i try to lo
in from windows account screen and agp440.sys freezes when i try saf
mode so i system restore

I restore and everything is looking good so i install the drivers an
the computer restarts as soon as setup completes again....now everytim
windows starts i get the windows error saying the my graphics car
device is failing.1 minitues after being logged in to windows th
computer completely locks up. So I install xp fresh and assuming th
cards defective i take it back and get a new one.

Brand new xp I install ALL the windows updates ALL the new drivers fo
my computer predownload driver update for the card(unfortunately th
card had to be in to install the drivers)
So I put the card in and install the drivers no problem update them n
problem but now my computer only lasts for around 15 minitues befor
freezing,or in some cases if too many programs attempt to run a
once,to make that worse sometimes all it does is instead of startin
up...

Heat sink is fine
Ram is not bad i checked
Motherboard spacers are in properly
Power supply IS plugged into my card
My card is sitting in the slot properly as is my ram
Fan on case,motherboard,graphics card,and psu are all working properl
and the cpu does not feel to overheat at all

And to top it off when the card is out the computer works PERFECTLY

How can your PC works works PERFECTLY without the card?
Assuming your MB has on-board video, did you disable it in the BIOS
before installing the card?

Cant say I did or even know how to.
But I installed a new power supply -400w-
and I can now get the computer to not freeze for around a half hour at
times
