  1. Try downloading and installing the latest driver.

  2. I could not find the wattage rating of your power supply but, given the specifications for the computer, suspect it has only about a 250W supply.  You should be able to see this rating when the case is open.

    .

    The most likely cause of your problem is that the additional electrical current draw of your graphics card is causing the computer to become unstable.  Upgrade the power supply to 400 watts and you should be fine.
