The Raidmax = very poor quality power supply could have damaged your video card. There ae no guarantees that has happened, but quite possible since a weak or underpowered supply can damage ram, motherboard, CPU, video card...and, the list goes on. I just don't think there is even a great power supply (which Raidmax is not) of 520 watts could pull that video card for you without consequences. The simple fact is that if you run underpowered, then you risk ruining computer components.
