Hey guys, let me start off by saying thank you very very much. Without your help I could have never built this and never had confidence to even build one. Thank you. Now I have just one issue. Every once in a while when I'm watching a flash or youtube video my screen will go blank blue. No error code or anything and everything that was playing will cease. Could this be an issue with the Powercolor graphic card? I'm not overclocking anything. Thanks in advance!

(EDIT)Also I get horizontal tearing while in fullscreen playing games.

TL;DR Bluescreen, no error messages, could this be a GPU issue?
