Well the graphics card in unlikely to be the culprit anyway!
Most likely cause:
1) Bad stick of memory
2) Insufficient power ie: you need a better PSU
3) Bad driver install or conflict of drivers (use a graphic's driver cleaner to fully un-install any old video drivers especially if they were Nvidia or other chipset.
4) Install the latest platform drivers for your motherboard.

Martin posted my opinion of last night. I was also going to attack the 580w power supply and remind the OP to check cpu temps.
IMO the first step here is to run a bootable floppy or cd with memtest...any error will validate the start and reboot you described.
If you decide to jump off a bridge, insure it's a very tall bridge. You want a nice clean splat sound when you hit the water...keeps ya from being spoonfed for the next thirty years.
