3070 issues

[Pepsi to the max]

Hi so just got a Asus tuf RTX 3070 and installed the drivers and am now experiencing problems. Windows is not recognising my gpu in the device manager or any where else and the screen keeps on flashing. I also keep getting notifications saying something like click to force install drivers which does nothing. 

I have switched from a 20 series gpu 

Any help would be great

Asus tuf x570 motherboard

2x16gb Corsair DDR4 3000Mhz ram

Ryzen 7 3700x

850w gold Corsair power supply

Samsung 1tb nvme ssd

Try installing DDU and going into safe mode and uninstalling the drivers. Then you can re-download a previous version of the drivers and see if that fixes it.

Thank you for the advice, I have just given it a go and as soon as I had done it and restarted my computer and got back into windows my screen started blinking again. I appreciate any advice you have about this because I am clueless at the moment

Did it stutter when you were in safe mode/when you didn't have any drivers installed?

No, only when I went back into normal windows and again I am being told force to reinstall graphics drivers

However it is now detecting the 3070 under display adaptors

Have you tried using a different cable or plugging into a different port on the graphics card/monitor?

Yep, tried 2 different display ports and monitors, I think it has something to do with some drivers, every time I restart it thinks my rtx 3070 is a Microsoft basic windows display adaptor

Do you have a HDMI cable you could try using?

Now it is saying windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)

You could try reinstalling windows.

Double check the power connections to the GPU and reseat if possible.

What happens when you put some type of load on the GPU such as playing a game?

Power connectors are in and have tried reseating it but nothing changed

The fans aren't spinning?

Yeah they are, I think I read somewhere on this gpu when it gets above 55° the fans start spinning but I might be wrong

It shouldn't get that warm on the desktop. That is strange, it could be that's it's a faulty card. Have you checked MSI Afterburner and seen what frequency it is at in the desktop?

So I just installed the latest drivers from before experience but straight after it started blinking again and I am once again getting the notification 'force to reinstall graphics driver'

Well any software where you can see the frequency of your components will work.
