Poor Quality Video Card?

I think my video card just fried! I've got a Power Color Geforce2 GTS 64mb DDR, and my system would freeze and restart at random all the time, so i took my hard drive and card to another computer, did a fresh install of W2K, and same problem! Now I have serious doubts about Power Colors quality. I had overclocked my card but only to 233/433 which was stable, but now this. Any body have any insight to Power Color cards? especially the new gerforce4 ones?
 
I am not familiar with Power Color specifically, but the question is: is it stable at the default core/memory speeds? If it is, then it is probably an okay Geforce 2 GTS card. If you want to run faster, you should consider either an Ultra or Ti, both of which run at least 250 core and at least 400 memory with good reports of overclocking. Those are pretty high settings you are attempting, and unless your card has very good cooling and high quality ram, I don't think it will be able to run that high. I haven't had good luck with overclocking my video cards, either, but as long as they run stable at their specified settings, I don't think I can complain too much. 😱
