Hello, so I've recently purchased an EVGA GTX 660 and I've been having some technical issues. Prior to the 660, I had the GTX 260 and I had drivers issues all the time (it crashing, etc). I thought it was because of the GPU since it was my brother's old card & is pretty dusty. Anyways, I uninstalled the old drivers, put in the new 660, and then downloaded the new drivers from the web. However, sometimes there would be graphics lag that would crash my computer and I've gotten the BSOD twice. Also, after booting up my computer, I would get the "Disk read error" message & I would be prompted to restart by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del. After restarting, I wouldn't get anymore errors. This does not happen every time either- maybe 1/2 chance. In a game on normal graphics settings, I would get slight graphic lag occasionally; it's not that big of a deal but definitely noticeable.
Yes, I have tried uninstalling drivers & redownloading them and I made sure I'm not using the onboard graphics.
I'm not overclocking it, I believe I have a sufficient power supply, & the drivers are correctly installed. What could the problem be?
Specs:

P.s. I'm not very computer proficient so excuse my ignorance :(
