320gb hard disc, lg led monitor,

My problem is that SOME TIME MY GRAPHICS CRACK IN DISPLAY , PC HANG AND SOME TIME PC SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN I REMOVED GRAPHICS CARD EVERYTHING IS FINE NO PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME.
I THINK ITS MEMORY MISMATCH(DDR2 RAM AND DDR3 GRAPHICS MEMORY)

What SMPS you are using? Is it a local one from Intex, frontech etc or from a branded company like Corsair, Cooler Master, FSP?

First of all GPU memory type(DDR3) have no correlation with the motherboard memory(DDR2). The memory type of GPU is totally local to it, so no memory mismatch is there.

Secondly, as Cilus mentioned, what PSU do you use. Are you facing this problem the moment you have bought this card and installed it in your system, or this is happening recently?

I think, that may be your PSU is the culprit if it is one of those local ones.

For ur card Cooler master 350W @1500 or FSP 400W @2k will be enough but consider future upgrades & go for a 500-500W corsair/fsp/Silverstone @3.5

^^ avoid cooler master as 99% shop will forward you an over-rated bomb named extreme power.

get Fsp saga II 350/400/500W or Corsair CX400W. all these cost between 1.5-2.5k

get a new PSU (finding FSP maybe a bit hard depending where you are from so keep other options open) & kick that frontech out of your house.
