GTX 1070 refuses to boot and fans not spinning after driver installation.

I bought a Gigabyte gtx 1070 mini oc used, it's fans were spinning upon first boot but after I installed and restarted Windows the Fans stopped spinning and it wouldn't boot any more. I tried reinstalling the os and using older driver versions but it still didn't make it past the post installation restart. Without drivers installed it works well, there are no artifacts or any other indications of faulty hardware, except the fan, wich spins up for a few seconds and then stops. Does anyone know a solution for this problem or is my card defective?

Used... Ok how much do you trust the guy who sold you this?

 

It does boot into the bios, though?

Please mark as helpful and informative so my profile looks better.

Yes, it boots into bios and Windows starts without drivers.

Hmm ok have you tried running GPU Z? To me it seems that it's either :

  1. fake
  2. Broken
  3. Both?
  4. psu issue

to me it seems that because it does work without drivers, it's fake (never claimed to be absolutely sure)

Maybe try a different PCIe slot?

I checked, its real and PCIe slot changes don't work. The weird thing is that i can use intensive applications before it starts thermal throttling, but installing the drivers kills it.
