Gpu problems caused by faulty motherboard ?

[Darker102]

Hello people of Tom's hardware

I have a problem with my gpu (AMD radeon R9 270X ) and motherboard it think? while playing gta V i get these weird flickering graphics so a month ago i rma'd i actualy got a replacement in the meantime that constantly crashed when i used it 2 days ago i got my gpu back and now i notice the same flickering isseus in gta V so now's the question could this be the cause of a faulty Gpu slot on my motherboard ?

What was the replacement and did it use the same slot?

The replacement was gtx 770 and it used the same slot

The 770 (requires min 600w) crashed it and the 270x (500w) causes flickering..
Check your PSU...

Determine what the power req. are for your system..

My psu is 500 watt

should i get a new one or is something else causing the problems ?

A new one yes.. That is your problem.. You gpu needs that alone.. Then you have your HDs, CPU, etc.. sucking off it..
Don't skimp on one either. Better a Top Rated one than a large cheapie!
