Two blue screens in about an hour

I FOUND IT  it's my F drive that's messing up because Crystal Disk helped me with it I was doing all of the tests my laptop drive is fine but the 3.5" isn't working right and a I got the stuff off that I need to so do I need to format that drive?

If it's the F: drive messing up, then save everything you need somewhere else and format it. Hopefully that'll fix the BSOD.

 Any idea why your card keep cutting out? Does it need a 6 or 4 pin power cable? Or is it really old and banged up?

It needs 2 8pins my PSU has it or is my PSU too low of a wattage? (EVGA 450BV) and I did install drivers

From a quick google, it looks like it can eat up to 250W, and wants a 550-600W PSU. I asked about this for a 980 Ti (also wants a 600W PSU), and they said I'd be fine with a 520W M12II. Though I'd defo get a 600W one for your build, since you have an FX CPU as well, and those eat power like nobodies business.

If it keeps crashing, no. Under load, it'll probs pull too much power.

It's not under significant load it's a low load maybe I just get some apps open and then no display out and it's random at times

Yea, I agree. I don't think that PSU is powerful enough but I also wouldn't think that was what caused the bluescreens unless you had your video card under heavy load when they happened. (like playing a demanding game)

Definitely go with something 600 watts or higher.

You can also get some information on what might be going on by checking your reliability monitor and event viewer in windows.

Just hit the windows key and type either one to get to them.

Custom views - administrative events in event viewer

but ignore most of the errors. Everyone's event viewer has errors even a perfectly working computer.

Try just looking for what was happening at the exact time when these bluescreens happened for clues.

Reliability monitor is easier to navigate. Ignore the app crashes and blue exclamation marks.

Look for windows errors and hardware errors. Anything critical.

Post what you see here.
