GPU crashing when slightly moved

Put together a pc for my cousin and he was reusing his rx 570 from his old build. Whenever the card is slightly moved the card crashes. We put the card in a different pc and it did the same thing and used a different card in his pc and it worked just fine. Im pretty sure it has a bad contact. Is there any way to fix this or will we just have to buy a new gpu.

It could be any number of things but that is defintely abnormal.

If it does that, when it gets up to speed (the fans), the vibration will knock it loose too.

 

I'd suggest taking a closer look at why it's doing this. If it's wobbling in the card slot, then there's probably stress fractures in the PCB edge in the slot, and it'll just die. If it's the heat sink, then you can probably just fix it.

I predict a new gpu in your future (a new rx 5700 xt perhaps) and selling the wonky card on ebay, someone will buy it.  

Yeah he said he would give it to me for $20 I’ll take it and do something with it
