[SOLVED] flickering pixelated lines after new GPU

I just bought a new graphics card and I'm having two really annoying issues with it. There is always flickering lines that are constantly changing colors on my screen and the fans on the GPU shuts off after I boot up my computer. It only started doing this after I updated the driver for it. I don't think it's a power supply thing because my power supply has 610 w and the gpu requirement is 550 w

UPDATE: I also have noticed that in device manager, something called PSI-Device has no driver and a yellow exclamation mark

the fans shutting off shortly after bootup are often normal, as the GPU is not really under a load merely rendering a Windows desktop...

As for screwy display, trying another PSU of quality manufacture of greater than minimum wattage recommended would be a good step.

Does your current GPU have (or require) a pair of external power inputs, and if so, are both connected (preferably without a Y jumper/splice)? (Some older mainboards proved inadequate to supply up to 60-75W of power via PCI-e slot to some early RX480 cards, so often a power starved card could just as likely be a mainboard limitation as a PSU issue

As you did not mention which GPU is being used, further speculation will be difficult....

Check your GPU in someone else's...

Check your GPU in someone else's rig? Borrow a known good/stout PSU?

I upgraded from a GTX 760 to an RTX 2070. I've also thought that it is the PSU, will definitely try the GPU on another computer later today
