Shoulda arksed ere first before splashing out on a new card mayn.. I'm quite useless with PC builds.. I try to figure out if all my upgrades would work together first then try to solo it.. worst case scenario I take it to the store and have them fit everything for a couple quid..
Are they all compatible?
Could there be overheating?
Is the PSU up for the job?
That's all I have to bring to the table.. sorry if it dont help in the short-term..

Can you give a complete list of all your components and say new or old next to each.

CPU requires 125w and the GPU requires something like 300w. Maybe PSU related. I try to make sure I have plenty of watts to be honest I probably have always gone overkill.
Lost a motherboard and GPU to a PSU that wasn't up to the job. Fecking track lifting and everything. I do not remember any symptoms before it went bang to be honest though.

You got an older legit copy of windows you can run it on for a bit to see?
I have no experience with fake copies to really comment
And PSU is a good start when it is fully modular. 1000W is what I have, I call it being prepared

No one here has or has any knowledge of anything fake but it wont make any difference.
1000w will be fine .
