This is the realization I'm coming to as well. Thank you for the help boju!

UPDATE: I cleaned the contacts as suggested by boju, still no luck getting it to boot so I used DDU in safe mode to remove any nvidia drivers and now I'm pretty certain it relates to initializing the drivers. I'm still getting these weird blue artifacts in safe mode but the card will display...

It was not stored in any particular way to prevent dust, no. I hadn't thought of that. I did however clean it before installing it in the new case. I just cleaned the contacts like you had suggested and it feels like it may be booting up quicker/lasting moments longer before the same blue screen...

Hey all, so I had this 980 ti that I decided to upgrade from and never got around to selling; thinking I'd maybe build a computer for my girlfriend- which I'm now doing! I hadn't noticed anything different about the card leading up to me upgrading but now it's not working on a fresh windows...

I currently have a semi-decent desktop computer that I've purchased around this time last year and within it is a GeForce GT 620 graphics card. I'd like to upgrade my graphics card to the GeForce GTX 970 but unfortunately I only have a 280W PSU, which I understand can be a problem. Can you...

Hey everyone, unfortunately this is my first post on tomshardware.com yet I've come here many times for help and recommendation. I'm looking to upgrade my horrid GeForce GT 620 graphics card to a GeForce GT 970... The problem is my power supply is a WHOPPING 280 WATTS! I've got the basic...
