Second Hand 2070 Issues

Got a secondhand 2070 from a friend and went to use it but having issues. I just don't know if it's actually a dead card or if my setup isn't powering it enough. It won't start games. and when it gets close it starts sprinkling green artifacts everywhere. I wonder about power because my 750W PSU is almost 8 years old and might be slacking. Does anyone have a tip on what to troubleshoot? just get a new PSU? New MOBO? 

 

The closest i've gotten to running a game is CSGO. When it actually loads into a match it crashes that it cannot load shaders.

Usually if you start getting artifacts like that when you load a GPU intensive program or one that uses 3d acceleration, it usually indicates a memory probably and is a dead/dying card.

Artifacts on screen under load are usually not power related. It's more likely going to be an issue with the VRAM, and that's not good.

That's sorta what I figured was going on unfortunately but was crossing my fingers it was just getting choked for power or something. Thank you tho!
