try running some benchmark or graphic intensive program
make sure that it really stable and no vpu recover

make sure that you insert the card correctly in the motherboard
also try updating bios for mb if there any new bios maybe it will fix that

btw sempron is not good for playing games get faster cpu

Ah thanks......I know how to install a graphics card........ I have already updated my bios.......
Socket 754 is not worth upgrading the Cpu I waiting for Socket f, or socket m2
and for graphics iintensive programs I play FEAR.... I have no problems the only problems I have when I start up... I get the error message I then have to restart several times before my computer will boot up properly....and if card wasnt in properly installed I probably woundnt be able to type this......
