Sapphire RADEON HD 7770 1GB problem!

After a clean install of Win10 Pro, I doubt the GPU is causing flickering, black screen and freezes. What could be the cause of this problem? The driver is the latest installed. Is it a driver issue or something to do with the GPU itself?

Full specs of your system?

The PC is a friend mine I forgot to mention, so here are the specs.

motherboard: msi h55m-e23
CPU: i3 540 @3.07 GHz
RAM: 8 GB (4x2)
SSD: 250GB
HD: 1TB
 
The PC is over 10 years old, 11-12 years old I think. But I doubt that the GPU is dying. So IDK what could else be the problem.

PSU?

He doesn't know, but both of us doubt that the PSU is generic 500W. It's certainly not a brand PSU.

The PSU is old and probably dying.

PSU life is 7-10 years, closer to 7 if not quality.

I see so it's either the PSU, which certainly is, or there is a possibility that the GPU is dying. Like mb downclocking the GPU could help?

PSU more likely.

Replace it anyway - old PSUs can kill things.

It was the PSU that started to kill the GPU. So both the PSU and GPU are for a replacement. Between an RX 550 2GB or GTX 1050 2GB which is better?

According to a few benchmarks I found, GTX 1050.
How much are you paying for it?

The card is around 50-60 euros new.

Get it!
It's hard to find basically any used card for not MSRP or higher.
