MSI GTX 980 Keeps Crashing Is It The Card or PSU

[The_hobo]

Hi all and thanks for looking. I brought a new psu about a month ago because as I knew I was upgrading from my 750ti. It's been working fine and have had no problems.

I installed my new 980 yesterday and it has crashed multiple times from when I'm gaming to browsing the web. I have reinstalled the drivers and run DDU ect but to no avail.

Also a few time it has failed to boot pass the bios and given four beeps.

My Build

Win 10 pro
i5 3570
8GB DDR3
ASUS P8H61-m LE/USB3 LGA1155 mobo
ssd+hdd
ihas224 b dvd
EVGA 650w G2 psu

Also updated bios to latest one.

Have you disabled integrated graphics from BIOS?

 

[The_hobo]

Yes I have, Thanks

Are you using the display port?

 

[The_hobo]

Using dvi and hdmi and when I'm gaming I turn off one display with the windows key+p

Pretty sure the GPU is the problem...you dont have the same problem with the 750...Its a common issue with the 900 series cards and usually a bios update resolves the problem...Are you sure u have installed correctly the latest BIOS?

Yep defiantly the latest bios and correctly. The only problem with comparing it with the 750ti is that the power requirements are not the same that's why I was unsure about the psu
