How to check if motherboard is killing video cards?

I checked the connectors with a digital multimeter because I had a video card a 760 that came in that didn't work with a graphical glitches in BIOS and startup and gave me a code 43, and actually similar glitches to a r9 290x that died on that same motherboard

Just checking if my motherboard was killing video cards, any help would be appreciated thank you everyone

Voltages are within the specified limits of a rail. So that's fine.

What's your PSU model and how old is it?
It's a EVGA 750 B2, 750w it's 7 years old I think got it 2017 or 16. I was going to test that next with the multimeter, I saw this life wire tutorial on it I'm guessing this is the way?

Yes. Although that tutorial is only to test if it turns on, after it does, you can test the voltages.
It was this one https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-manually-test-a-power-supply-with-a-multimeter-2626158

, I'll try to test it, I think I may have just received a dead card as it it was from the beginning not working well and never had signs of it malfunctioning. I feel like it's not the PSU either just trying to make sure, my 290x did malfunction I don't know if it's dead, with this PSU but it's never really gave me any problems.

Is there anything I should know about doing this? It's my first time. The same article had a link to the pin outs and voltage numbers I'll try to use as reference for proper voltage numbers
