Hi, thanks for your response :)

I can't post screenshots as the pc crashes when this problem occurs, but the temperature under load is about 70 degrees, and the voltage is 12.1 - 12.3.

The old PSU was Jeantech 350W, upgraded to 500W then 1000W. Unfortunately I don't have another machine available with a big enough psu - all the ones I have access to are around 450.

DXDiag and ATITools report that everything is fine :s

A friend suggested that this card might need 26A and that I should bridge the 12v rails on the psu to achieve this, but honestly, I have no idea what that really means or how to do it. Any advice gratefully received :)
