Most likely, it's a RAM problem. Try MemTest86 to test it overnight. It's not an absolute, but it's pretty good.

What was your previous video card? I am not certain, but in the BIOS you may have to alter settings to AGP if the previous card was a PCI. I'm not too techie as you can probably tell, but perhaps someone else can explain this better?
