Video card crashing? Screen goes black with distorted pixels and color.

You guys are way off topic now I think.
I used AMD Uninstall Manager and removed everything amd related. Just reinstalled the newest drivers for both my old APU and my GPU. Crash is still occuring. I'm tempted to think it's my old motherboard not providing enough power. Would any motherboard be compatible with what I currently have in the computer? Should I buy a new one? I reseated the card, ram and replugged all power plugs from the psu back into the components. I'm running out of ideas at this point... No idea what it could be. I'll try downclocking my card to 1000 mhz and reducing the power efficiency about 20%


Can you confirm that the system you have is this one by telling me what CPU and board you have in CPU-Z?
System: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03782923
CPU Z http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/cpu-z_1.78-en.exe

Do you have the CPU: AMD A8-6500 and the motherboard: MSI JasmineR MS-7778?

Then we can find out what board you could use.

For example:
ASUS A68HM-Plus FM2+ AMD A68H FCH (Bolton D2H)

You may be able to sell the HP board on ebay to subsidize the purchase of a different board.
Your board may be worth as much as $80 on eBay.
