Graphics card DoA?

[Eikoandmog]

Got a couple new pc parts today after getting artifacts on my motherboard splash screen. In particular, the graphics card doesn't seem to pass POST despite showing the splash screen. If I plug the monitor in to integrated graphics and remove the graphics card, boot works as normal. Is it just a faulty graphics card?

1| When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs and your OS. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

Since you've mentioned that you got some new parts, it's wise to state the old and the new specs for us to understand the change.

2| Did you uninstall your previous graphics card drivers before you dropped in your seemingly new GPU?

3| It could be a faulty GPU but if it's brand new then you should be contacting the card manufacturer and tie in the reseller for a possible RMA. If it's used then you could try and perform some workarounds or the PSU is just croaking.

Apologies, here is full specs

CPU: i7-3770
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb
SSD/HDD: SanDisk Ultra Plus 128gb
Old GPU: HD7870
New GPU: GTX 1050Ti
PSU: Corsair Cx650, old one unknown
Chassis: Cooler master mastercard pro 3
OS: Win10
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster SA300

I didn't uninstall old graphics drivers but since it's not getting past the mobo splash screen, I doubt it's a driver incomparability. The card is brand new as well.

If it's not getting past the bios only when the GPU is installed, then update your bios (it worked for another member with a gigabyte mobo on here just recently)

Didn't seem to update the motherboard bios but setting legacy pci-e on seemed to have made it work, thankfully. Either that or it really was the old radon drivers remaining installed.
