GPU problem: Snow

[MrKickkiller]

I seem to be having problems with my newly bought GTX 770 OC version from Gigabyte. I installed it in my PC, installed the drivers from the NVIDIA website and at random it starts to give me snow.

 

PC SPECS: I5-4690K

Asus Z97 DELUXE

Corsair RM 750

Corsair Vengeance Pro

Samsung 840 EVO

Gigabyte 770 OC2GB

Power cables are well plugged in. I do think it is seated properly.

Check the temperatures under load (e.g. valley)

The temperatures look fine under load.

Squish it in the slot a little bit, just to be sure.

Then it's probably defective. As a last try check if the psu cable is defective by using another one (rm psus come with loads of cables right?).
