Odd issue with ASUS gtx 1060 dual 6gb

[HughTheSandboxEnthusiast]

Hello! I'm new here and not sure how many things work on a forum site in general but I do have a problem I am seeking help on. I have a GTX 1060 6GB that my cousin gave to me because his psu wasn't powerful enough to power it (250w...I don't know what he was thinking). Any-who, I plug it into my board and it does something odd. The backlight on the monitor comes on but no image. Then after some messing around with it seating in the slot better it started to display finally. After about 3 hours of installing and fighting the windows 10 trying to auto install drivers I gave up. Code 43 over and over and over. But then out of the blue on my last attempt it installs successfully. The split second i start into the haven benchmark though It "magically" shoots different colors for every pixel across the screen flickering with multiple different lines and then shuts down. Since i'm on such a tight budget I decide "Well, I got it for free so time for the oven it is". Then it goes back to the backlight no display. At this point i just flat out gave up. Put it back into the box sat it on my shelf and walked away. Now that we are about 6 months later I have a completely different rig using my old graphics card. Ryzen 2600, x470 msi gaming plus, 8gb 3200 mhz corsair vengeance lpx, AMD R9 270x 4GB OC from Sapphire, and a 750Ws Hive from Rosewill. I decided id give it another shot before sinking about 1200 in that console frames ray tracing performance RTX 2080ti. I stuck the 1060 in the PCIE x8 slot and it managed to produce an image. So i wiped my computer clean of any old AMD and Nvida drivers and restarted my computer making sure my display cable was hooked up to the 1060. It booted up and now is refusing to work with any driver from asus website or nvidas website. Just keeps saying code 43 and once or twice code 31. Im not sure maybe you guys could figure out what is wrong with this card. 

 

Thanks!

Jup it seems that your GPU is fried. Might have been caused by wacky voltage swings on the 250 PSU.
