Did you download and install the Windows 7 drivers for the motherboard from Gigabyte?

Freezing situation creates random or on some specific operation ?. Is it a fresh windows installation or old one ?

Not too sure about this, but the specs of the graphics cards says it can draw 116W. I would update all drivers, and if that doesn't work, get a more powerful PSU just to test it out.

That card needs 24 amps on a 12v rail. If that is a single rail PSU it should be OK.

[lijo1761]

my psu is coolermaster GX 450w. it specify single 12V rail up to 35A
