Recently at a lan party, I used a GeForce GTx560 for which I installed Nvidia's 340.52 driver which worked perfectly fine. At the time I was still using a 32-bit version of Windows.
I have since been given an ASUS ENGTS250DK card. Using the same driver and without any other hardware changes, the pc wouldn't boot.
Symptoms
The computer appears to boot into Windows, but right about the time when the Desktop should display, the system locks up entirely and the monitor loses signal.
Important Information
Basic PC specs are:
- Intel Core i5 3750k
- 4GB RAM
- PSU is 450W with 29A on the +12V Rail
- System Board is Intel DH77KC
After having installed a 64-bit copy of Windows, the problem persists.
I've been using Nvidia's 296.10 driver which is relatively stable. The system boots and runs fine, however some graphics issues are present. Occasionally graphical distortions and glyphs tend to appear.

If anyone can help me figure out what the problem might be with my system, I'd really appreciate it.
Some have suggested that the PSU isn't big enough to handle the card, but I pretty much discount that possibility in light of the fact that the GTX560 worked without any problems.
