GTX 970 not running properly.

[DragonViking]

Hello, I recently purchased an Nvidia GTX 970 superclocked 4GB GDDR5 card, I have installed it and it will not run, I have 8 gigs of DDR3 ram and a 1000 watt PSU Intel i7 - 2600 3.4ghz. I have checked the RAM and It is fine but when I have the GTX 970 in I am getting 1 long beep and 3 short beeps, Which says it is a memory issue, I have no problems with my old card in. I am wondering If it is a faulty GPU. I have changed BIOS to run in legacy and I have disabled secure boot. I dont know what else to do. Thank you for your help.

Is the 970 getting the correct amount of power? Like, are you not plugging something in? Stupid question, I know.

Update drivers and check Nvidia control panel to see if it reads the card.

Thats the problem, I cant even boot up with the card in. I updated the drives for the new card then put it back in and still nothing. Ive read that if it keeps reading as a memory problem (which it was) that it was GPU failure.
