First, obvously, try it with the card at stock (380/340). It could be overheating and causing issues. You may also have mis-installed the heatsink.
my system just restarts and windows just says device driver problem (games, and clicking on apps)
Okay, that's a little more specific. Are you saying it does this when you're *not* playing games as well? If it just randomly crashes all the time, I'd be thinking some sort of hardware problem, but maybe not the video card. Is anything else in your system overclocked? How are your CPU temps? Voltage rails? Have you checked your RAM with something like memtest86, or your CPU/memory with Prime95?
2.9 ,omega 2.9 ati 3.10, now using omega 3.10
Well, the 2.9s are VERY old (that's, what, September 2002?), so try something like the ATI 3.7s from a few months back.
From what? If you had an NVIDIA board in there earlier, you need to use Driver Cleaner 2 to get rid of their drivers before installing your new card. If you didn't, go back and use it to take out both the ATI and NVIDIA drivers, then reinstall ATI's driver package.
Did it start doing this immediately after the upgrade? Or was it working correctly for a while and then started to fail?
also i dont know if it is my power supply its a cheap one b/c sometimes it does it sometimes it doesnt
That's also possible. Try putting the card on its own power lead if it's not on one already. I know the manual tells you to hook it up behind a hard drive, but it's better to have it by itself (they just assume that you won't have a spare power lead lying around). A weak power supply may not be able to drive 2 or three high-drain devices on one lead (or at all).
