Hi
I recently purchased a GTX 980 and it is giving me trouble. Whenever I do a benchmark test my PC screen either goes black or my PC powers off completely.
If I lower my core clock by 200 mhz it seems to be stable but I obviously would prefer the card to run on default settings atleast.
My previous card, an old Radeon HD7870 packed up and started giving me artifacts which hopefully isnt pointing to a PSU issue?
Things I have already done:
Reinstalled drivers fully by deleting old manually and in control panel.
Playing around with clocking which is why I figured out if I underclock the card it will work.
The maximum temp it has reached is 60C so it isn't an overheating issue.
I am fairly certain it is either a faulty GFX card or a faulty PSU.
My system is pretty old other than the new card:
PSU: Huntkey APFC 700W
CPU: Intel i5 2320 3Ghz
MOBO: Gigabyte Z68APD3
HDD: Seagate Barracuda LP ST31000520AS 1TB 5900 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
RAM: 2x 4GB Hyperx Fury 1600 mhz
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
My question is how I can figure out what the issue is? Is this PSU enough?
My dad has a 450W really old PSU so I probably can't test it with his PC.
