pc freezes and needs hard restart with new second hand gpu

[Full_Logicz]

I just bought an asus gtx 1080ti second hand and my pc started freezing every time i cold started it ( after taking a couple hour break ) after one hard restart it works just fine until the next time i start it. This thing never happened with my 1060.

I want to know if the gpu might be at fault for this or is it just some software problem, can this be warranty worthy if it's the gpus fault ?

Also whenever the pc freezes it makes this really loud noise in my speakers, it sounds like loud static for a fraction of a second.

It might be driver issue..Just ddu it and install new drivers

Did you reinstall windows after putting the new card?..try reinstalling windows in nothing works.

Check the psu. Try other PSU that has more watts.
