ark_ader:
Is it a Sapphire by any chance?

I thought of the heating issue, and did remove the side of the case but it didn't change anything. I went into the bios and checked on the mobo and processor and both were well within safety range. I thought about the PS, and perhaps that is it, although given what's been said, it might be too late. Hmmm. Not a big deal, as it was under twenty dollars including shipping on ebay, but we'll see. Thanks.
Sapphire? I don't think so. Doesn't say it on it.
Hoopz:
How about trying an older version of the drivers?
Kevin Mullins:
Have you tried re-seating the card or possibly a different slot ?
Ummon:
I actually tried a couple/few different drivers.
I think I did pull and reseat the card. I can't further test it because it's PCIe and I only have one computer with that interface. Other cards work fine in it, so I'd guess the PC is fine.
