Hi everyone !

So the problem started when i installed a new gpu in my system at first i was greeted with Graphics Corruption/Artifacts while gaming (in every game) i thought this was because of my low power 350W psu but after some googling i came to a solution where i just underclocked my GPU and it worked just fine don't know why that happened bcz my GPU was at default clock anyways i then ran some games and it worked just fine for about 2 to 3 days but now every time i try to run the game the game run then after some time a black screen suddenly appears (i can still hear the game audio and game running) and then everygame is reporting random errors like NFS PAYBACK is reporting that the GPU is physically removed from the system WWE 2k18 and FIFA 19 are giving me the same error whereas GTA V gives ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT or something like that.

MY SPECS:

-Intel Core i5 2500k @3.4Ghz
-Nvidia GTX 960 2GB (Driver Version
-8GB DDR3 Quad Channel Memory 1333Mhz
-500 + 160 GB storage


Before upgrading my GPU i had an ATI Firepro V4800(1GB DDR5) paired with my system with which my PC and games ran flawlessly but the 1GB gpu can't play the AAA titles so i had to upgrade. I think some of the pins in the PCI-e slot are not seated down correctly which i double checked. I opened up the GPU and i wiped out every particle of dust that i could see i replaced the old thermal paste but nothing worked. Any help would be highly appreciated ☺
 
Solution
Powerman PSUs are really only suitable for office PCs and older home PCs which just have integrated graphics, or at a pinch a PC with a low-end graphics card, not a gaming card.

You need a better quality PSU that's at least 450w (better quality as in Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA etc).
