No, but the only possible explanation I've found is that my power supply might not be good enough, even though I already paid $90 to upgrade to this one. I have a 520W one now, but it's Dynex (crappy BBuy brand)... apparently that might be why. The minimum requirement says 450W for this 7770.

I just ran Skyrim on "Ultra" settings and played fine for a few minutes, then I quit. It didn't crash but it usually doesn't until after 20 min or so. We'll see. This is weeeeeeird.  Shocked

Trust me it's not the PSU. The 7770 is one of the least power hungry cards on the market at the moment.

Well I don't get it. Just played on ultra settings for like 30 minutes with no problems at all. On medium and lower it froze.  Lips Sealed

Actually, when running on full I was in fullscreen, where before I always played in windowed mode. Would this affect it? Is windowed harder to process or something?

You should run Prime95 for 12 hours and check if your system is stable.

I'mma pop a question in here while we're talking about it:

I have crappy integrated graphics, and my card only always 64mb of ram to the video processing. Is there anyway to take my total amount of RAM (4.1) and attribute more to my video card?

Not if it was designed to only use a certain amount of that shared memoy. And even then you won't gain much performance on games because the clocks on the GPU and memory probably suck as well. Is it a desktop?

Intel GMA is ****, but i'm guessing you already knew that. The only good intel gfx are the latest HD4000 and they're only good at computing and encoding.
