Games keep crashing after installing a new 980ti GPU

[noooolwith4os]

installed a new GPU and my games keep crashing. Not sure if the GPU is faulty or not. Help please! 

My specs:

PSU: Corsair AX850 Gold rated 

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3408 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: Nvidia Geforce 980ti
Motherboard: MSI B250M BAZOOKA (MS-7A70)

 

Games run perfectly fine, with good fps before a black screen appears with the game crashing. Audio usually continues playing.

Temperatures are fine, voltages, ram usage all good

Reinstalled drivers using DDU multiple times, set power management mode to maximum and also restored settings to default in BIOS.

When stress testing with heaven, the program crashes as well.

 

Is there anything I can do to fix it or will I have to get a new one?

Is there any specific error recorded in Event Viewer of these crashes? Maybe showing a faulting module?

What do you mean by new GPU, the 980ti is several years old. Did you buy a used card or did you happen to find a new one around somewhere?

i just bought the psu used, looked to be working fine when the guy tested it out

PSU and Hard Drives you don't want to buy used

This is a second topic about this - but you are giving more information than you did in the first topic (specifically more used components)

 

Hopefully this can finally get sorted - best to put out all the information up front or people cant help.
