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..

Got in a new HDMI cable apparently that could cause similar problems and bought a new monitor the other day my guess its the psu possibly lacking in power maybe ?

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.
