I build my computer last December but was unable to get a new GPU so I used my old one which is a Gigabyte 1060. I have had no problems with it since.
PSU: Super Flower Leadex III Gold HG series 850W 80 Plus Gold.
I "won" the Newegg lottery and got a Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 3080 MASTER 10G (rev. 2.0) Graphics card. I installed the card and as soon as I powered the computer on it started to act funny. It seemed to restart as soon as I turned it on. Then it made it all the way to the desktop but was stuttering. The screen would turn black and come back on. I tried to download the newest driver but the download was taking forever. The download would then pause and after a second or two the screen would turn black and come back then the download would continue. After this happened a couple times I turned off the computer. I have reinstalled my 1060 and have had no issues since. I downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers and installed them, I didn't do a complete uninstall of the old drivers.
I do have a much older power supply (almost 9 years old now) that I could try to use except it is not modular, is only 750W, and is currently in use in a different computer.
Can anybody offer me advice on what I should do to narrow down my problem?
Thank you
