what is the hardware configuration of your system? what brand PSU and wattage? how many amps does it deliver on the +12V rail?

i'm sorry i'm a bit numb when it comes to all that jargon . but i do know the card has a separate power supply which is all plugged in correctly . It doesnt seem to crash on silent service 2 but them other 2 it does. My system is a windows xp pro sp2 2gb of ram 2.21ghz athalon processor

the PSU info should be oin the label on the side of the PSU inside the case.
