Oh, that's strange. Is the card overclocked at all? If so, try reducing it.

I assume that you've already tried doing a clean reinstall of the AMD drivers too so I have no idea.

What does the BSOD say?

What message are you getting for your BSOD? It could be purely coincidence they started happening after your replaced your GPU.

 

Nevertheless, monitor your temperatures while gaming and if it hits higher than about 80-85C, then your cooler is bad, possibly a loose fan bearing.

 

If the BSOD message is something along the lines of atikmpag.sys then it's your graphics card for sure.

I couldnt catch it! There should be a file in windows that keeps the BSOD info right?

Nope! What is that?
