Question gpu crash while installing driver

[oussa]

Hello everyone, lately i face a problem with my gpu gtx 970 gigabyte 3x oc there's what's hapenning:
like usual, i turn on my pc to play games everything seems good until suddenly while playing i guess resident evil 2 revil remake ( 2 hours of playing) monitor tears and pc crahes then reboot ( it doesn't turn off it just back to the loading of brand motherboard ) and every time reach the step to enter windows it crash again and this loop continue until i turn off completly pc, i thought problem on some windows files so i decided to reinstall windows and clean the driver by ddu tool but it didn't work , i reinstall windows for the second time but this time i can enter to windows , so i download the last nvidia driver and when the driver is loading the pc crash again and the problem appears again, so i thought the issue is with the driver , i clean it by ddu and i install each time an previous driver but the problem still, i don't know what can i do else , it's weird that you have a gpu that works as long as you don"t play games on it or install its driver , does the gpu die?

my pc specs:

dell optiplex 390 oem motherboard
8gb crucial 1600mhz
i7 2600
PSU/ FPS 400W

Installing graphics drivers initiates power plans for the card. When a card becomes faulty and crashes trying to install drivers that's usually an indication. Or it's the psu. Won't really know for sure until one or the other is swapped out.

I gifted a Gtx 780 long time ago to a friend and the card kicked the bucket not long ago, same deal trying to install drivers. He bought an Rtx 3050 and all is good.

Psu is on the low end so maybe. Buying graphics cards second hand also has it's risks.
