Black screens and crashes after swapping GPU

I got an open box GTX 1650 from a friend of mine a week ago. After taking out my GT 1030 and installing the GTX 1650, I constantly have black screens, especially when I open apps right after booting. I told him about this but he said it was perfectly fine when he tested it. He said it could be because of my old motherboard and a heavy GPU that there might be contact issues, and a GPU support bracket should fix the problem. I then 3D printed one, but my PC still had black screens. I'm sure it's not an issue with the PSU cuz I threw in my GTX 650 which requires a 6-pin that I had lying around, and no issues appeared.

Note:
1. Not PSU issue
2. Not HDMI cable issue

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H (LGA 1150)
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 (Stock Cooler)
GPU: MSI Ventus XS GTX 1650
600W PSU

When changing a GPU I would recommend running DDU. Display Driver Uninstaller. Search Google and download. Run and follow the prompts for a clean driver install

This is what I was told by NVIDIA support once upon a time too

I will find your Laptop thread and I will recommend an ITX build instead

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure would be neat if there was something useful here, eh?

Hopefully, the tool does the job 🙂  It has worked for me many times

Wiped drivers and reinstalled, still crashed on the first startup. Will be continuing to observe for the next couple of days.

I reinstalled drivers yet it still crashes multiple times. I then installed it on my brother's rig, and it was completely fine for the past month. Seeing that it was fine, I reinstalled the card on my PC and it still does not work. I feel like this is a motherboard issue

Edit: The way the card slotted in felt much more firm on his rig.
