Graphics Card Problem
I have Alienware X51 with graphic card GTX 555, for last few days I am not able to run any game as the game crashes after some time with Blue Screen of death and the last day, PC is stop detecting the graphic card and after 2 or 3 hot boots graphic card was detected but with green dots on screen. Is my graphic card is done or can it be repaired?????????
And the another question I want to ask is if I can upgrade my graphics card GTX 555 to any latest graphics card say GTX 760 or 770.I noticed that the power supply required for these graphics card are 450W but my alienware has power supply of 330 W. Did I need to upgrade power supply first to install new graphic card??????????

Hi!
Follow the instructions on this article to retrieve the BSOD error code. Then try a clean installation of the video driver as explained here. If issue persists, run an ePSA diagnostic to check for hardware errors and let me know the results.
If you want to upgrade video cards, here are the validated cards for the X51 R1:
GeForce GT 545, 1GB
GeForce GTX 555, 1GB
GeForce GT 640, 1GB
GeForce GTX 645, 1GB
GeForce GTX 660, 1.5GB
