    Hello,
    I was looking to buy a new graphics card because my current one just doesn't do the job anymore. After some research I bought one that would be good. I bought the MSI N440GT MD1GD3. My current computer's specifications are:

    As you can see I do have some basic stuff in my PC but I'm happy with it.

    So now my problem.
    I tried installing the new graphics cards and everything goes fine. Computer boots up using my onboard graphics. Windows recognizes the graphics card and starts downloading the latest drivers. After the installation, which goes just fine, the setup prompts to restart my computer. This is where things go wrong. It shut's down and begins booting up again, but when it tries to load windows 7, it restarts itself and begins all over. It's immediatly after this screen that he reboots:

    The only way to make my pc work again is booting in safe mode (nothing bad happens then) and uninstalling the driver. I don't know if this is a hardware or a software problem. I've double checked the system requirements of the card but I think it should work. (unless I'm missing something)

    Things I tried already:
    - Uninstalling all my current graphics drivers and then trying to install the card.
    - Disabling the automated driver install and installing the driver from the nvidia site (also tried this with the drivers on the included cd)
    - Updating all my other drivers including my Bios.

    I also noticed after some time that after the crashes a BSOD flashes on the screen. I found this on my computer but I couldn't get a thing out of it. dmp-file

    I'm fearing that the problem some incompatibility is that I overlooked.

    I hope you guys can help me.

    It sounds like a bad video driver, or even the card could be bad.. First try another video card to root it out.. When you are in safe mode.,go into device manager and look for errors..

    It's hard to determine your problem, can you post link to MSI website featuring your motherboard, need to see specifications.
    Try doing a memtest, to check your RAM.
