Regarding a new system, possible issue with a BFG 7900gtx

[Mithicoron]

ok, I'll start with my hardware,

AMD duel core 4200
2 Corsair 1 gig memory
refurbished 160 Hard drive
BFG overclocked 7900GTX
Modular 630 power supply
Asus A8N SLi motherboard

Anyway, so I put all that together, ran windows everything was fine. I go to update the drivers for my graphics card though, now all of a sudden I get a BSOD once windows finishes loading. (the drivers were on the CD) Now, I called BFG tech support, first time the guy said it was a driver issue. I called again when I couldn't get to the drivers, and the guy said my power supply wasn't good enough. (so I got the 630 power supply, still wondering if that is good enough though) I got the same issue with my new power supply. The guy on the BGF tech said that he suguested a 38.0 ampage, I wasn't sure if that was for the +5v or the +12V. (I went to fries and I got the highest +12v there, which was a 20.0A) It's possible they had bigger ones in the back, but I didn't ask.

Now my question is, is it a driver issue, ampage issue, or do I need an RMA for the card? When I put VGA mode on, then it works fine, so I don't think it's the card.

Any thoughts?

Can you post the complete specs of the PSU,please?
Which forceware version?
Your motherboards Bios version is ??

Need to know who makes the power supply and the amps across the 5v,12v rails. But, this:

I can tell you is inaccurate unless he thinks you're running a dual-rail PSU which, in that case, I would agree with him (19A on each rail). If you're running a single-rail PSU then 20A should be sufficient for one GTX.

Hmm, try booting into safe mode, d'load and use driver cleaner 3 (or pro) and uninstall the current drivers. See if you can boot into windows then d'load the forceware drivers , 91.xx (i think xx= 45? for the newest ones).
