So after asking around some and fiddling around it does in fact seem that my video card is the problem. It is regularly freezing either in the process of startup, I cant even manage to finish installing windows. Is there anything I can do about this or is the card just shot? Thanks
I would recommend a "DECENT" 450Watt Power supply or more for a typical machine setup - couple of hard drives, CD/DVD drives, Athlon X2/core 2 Duo CPu etc.
