My Nvidia GTX960 4GB DDR5 128bit Keeps Crashing Whenever I try to start a Game

[atriceon]

My Nvidia GTX960 4GB DDR5 128bit won't let me play a match in Fortnite nor PUBG. The Screen Shuts off for 2-3 seconds then comes back on with the audio still playing but on the desktop instead of the game and everytime itry to go back to the game screen it just crashes and i have to relog the game. And ever since I put in the Graphics Card my RAM is only at 2 now (8 before) and my computer takes twice as long to load anything and is just terrible in every way. I had a Sapphire Radeon HD 6790 before and it was working fine but it wouldn't load PUBG so i got a new one and everything is terrible.
My Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
64-bit
Intel Core i5 CPU
RAM 2GB
Drivers are up to date and have done a Clean Install after my first install.

Please Help Thanks!

I think you just answered your own question. 2 GB is way too low to even try to play the game. Why did you replace 6 Gigs with the 960?

What PSU still?

I am having a similar issue with my GTX960. Very similar symptom. Crashing at game load with screen shut off. Happens on Total War Atilla/Warhammer 2.
The rest of my specs are fine though, i7 7700, 8gb.

Crashing as in crashing to desktop or does the entire system reboot?

Run memtest86 on each RAM stick. Try them in different slots. What are your temps like? Reapply the thermal paste, and clean the PC out for dust. Do a clean reinstall of GPU drivers.
