This is actually my dad's computer that's screwed up. He bought this card, and it did the title error. He sent it back hoping it was a faulty card, but it still happens with the second one. He put the new second card in my computer and it runs fine so far.

More info-
- It will either 'recover' or it will simply completely freeze and require a hard reboot
- Doesn't always happen immediately, usually when in video settings, playing a movie, or a game
- Card is obviously not the problem, but something else
- Power supply is good enough, but the case has like 5 fans built in. Could that be sapping enough power to cause the card to be underpowered?
 
...assuming all the drivers are up to date?

You COULD unplug some of the fans, see what happens...
