PC graphic problems!!!

[dracula2001]

I am having a graphic issue with my computer. I just bought Gigabyte GTX 980ti graphic card and installed it. I did a goo clean Win 7 install and everything was working fine. After doing all the updates and stuff, I got a blue windows screen and computer crashed. Now, everytime I turn on my computer, during the windows loading screen, I get blue dots on that black screen and after windows open. I get blue dots on my background image. Resolution becomes terrible and I cant fix it. Is there a problem with this new graphic card or is this somethink that I find a solution for. I have Radeon 7870 graphic card before and nothing like this happened at all.

My computer specs are;
CPU - AMD FX 8350 Black Edition Vishera 8 core 4.0 GHz processor
GPU - GTX 980ti
Ram - 2x8gb G.SKILL Ripjaws 240 pin DDR3 2133 (pc3 17000)
Hard drive - SSD SAMSUNG 840 PRO 256GB SATA III
Motherboard - Gigabyte 990FXA - UD3
Power Supply - 700W
Screens - HP 2511x LED-HD 27" and Gateway 22" 1680x1050

Please help!!!

Do you know exactly what type (make/ model) of Power Supply you have?

Thermaltake TR2 700W

The GTX 980 Ti requires a good 600w PS so you should be good. You can try booting up in safe mode the going into the DM and remove all GPU drivers, then reboot and installing the newest drivers. What version of Windows are you using?

Edit: Definitely try littleleos' suggestion of checking drivers first!

You could also try:

- Remove your new card and test the native graphics.
- If everything looks normal, put your old card back in and see what that looks like.
- If everything looks normal, put your new card back in. If the dots continue then either your PSU isn't supplying enough juice or you've gotten a bad card and need to return it for a replacement.

I am using Windows 7. I will try that and see if it fixes.

I have tried that method of switching with old card. Old card worked just fine, but when I switch to the new one, it works good for awhile and crushes computer suddenly while doing nothing.

I tried both methods. Didn't work. What else can I try?

At this point I'd probably return the card as defective and try a new one. If the same problem occurs then I'd look at diagnosing other components (like the motherboard or PSU).

Seems like I might do that. Paying close to $700 and getting this problem, really make me angry.

I hear ya, I'd be ready for some seriously awesome gaming if I had that card. Hopefully the replacement will do the trick. Fingers crossed for ya!

It is strange the old card which I think you said was a AMD works fine when you put it back, without you loading it's drivers.

definitely get an RMA for the card if you just got it submit it as a DOA and ask for an exchange. Do you have another system you can pop the card into as a test do you?

I did install the drivers for the old graphic card to try it. I have returned the card for replacement yesterday. Right now I have the old card and everything works just fine. I have also purchased Evga 850W 80+ GS Gold for PSU just to make sure. All should arrive tomorrow. Will post the results once I receive them.

I have one more desktop and I have tried it on that one as well. It gave the same or similar problem so I did a RMA for the card. Will post the results with the new ones.
