Urgent help needed

you could offcourse rma the card if its wining. ive got a Enermax psu my self a NaXN and it does not wine at all.

but that still does not solve your main problem.. i would say first try windows 7 just to determine if its a windows issue it self, or if it is realy hardware related, if the cards works perfect on your brothers system, then you know for sure its not the gpu on its own.

could be a bad psu, or even a bad pci-e slot.

i'm an idiot.

the monitor is broken. after building another pc for my grandfather, and taking it to my tv to install drivers, then going to my setup to write my essay, i noticed it had the same problem.

also i domt think the card is whiningill have to test it again but the sound stopped after running furmark
