I had just installed my GTS 250 and everytime I play a game (In Windows its perfectly fine) my computer crashes. I get the blue screen error message:
Is it Because I'm under-powering the video card? Do I have to buy a new PSU because I just bought a new one last year don't want to waste another 50$. Dunno what to do. Please help.

Your card specs call for a MIN 26 amps on the 12v rail and you have 18amps you need to get a better PS or a less powerful card. READ all specs and requirements BEFORE you buy any hardware.
