On the back of the box for the PSU there is a table of output characteristics. For +12V1 and +12V2 it says 16Amps. I really should of researched more before buying the PSU/card. Thank you, I shall try with a better PSU and see if this remedies the problem. How can I tell when buying a PSU if it meets this need? From the specs I have seen in online shops they do not tend to give this data. Again any help is appreciated. Thanks again.
With PSU's it's always best not to skimp and buying a named brand is always a must. Usually if one checks with the manufacturers website you can find out the nitty gritty details. What PSU is your friend using?
Edit: Just to give you an idea I'll include the web site for my PSU (600W) : OCZ 500W-700W ModXStream Pro Power Supply OCZ Technology
I'm not sure what PSU he's using but I assume its better than mine because he just bought it for his gaming rig. I bought a cheap no brand one when I was building my computer, unaware of these issues. Is the current cumulative between the two 12Vs? So that you'd have 50A out from your data sheet?
EDIT: here's the zipped sysinfo:

Also when it freezes I do not have to reboot I can close it with task manager and return to using the comp as normal bar gaming. I will try it out with a power supply that meets the spec as soon as possible.
