What blue screen do you get? Do you remember the code? Have you reinstalled your drivers? When does the BSOD occur?

Try re-seating the card and/or moving it to a different PCIe slot.

If you can, try it on a different system. Otherwise, re-seating or trying a different slot would be the next best bet. Also, when you reseat it, try blowing the slots out with compressed air to ensure there is no dirt in there.

Or maybe even clean the card's PCIe contacts with isopropyl alcohol.
