Hey everyone, so im running a little side rig, its an i3-3240 cpu on a oem dell motherboard, i just replaced the PSU a few weeks ago with a EVGA 600w 80+, Yesterday my gpu (r7 260x) crashed while playing stellaris, then everytime i went to load into the actual game, (tested with stellaris, witcher 3 and counter strike) it would crash asap, once the actual game renders, now it wont even boot into the windows login screen without the display crashing. Tried another card, a gtx 970 and still does it. If i remove the gpu and run from the onboard graphics, i have no issue whatsoever. Ive ran all the tests i could and im stumped. Not sure if this is a motherboard issue or PSU, cause it runs flawlessly without the gpu.If i install the gpu, itll show me the dell logo as the motherboard posts and i can access the bios but once the windows logo starts loading, it crashes. Ive reinstalled, uninstalled every driver i can. All the plugs have been installed and re-seated as well. nothing is overheating, no overclock either, Any ideas? thank you!

Hey, Thermal paste was just replaced on everything too, didnt mention that. It booted and worked in safe mode, but not regular mode... i was able to install the nvidia drivers but still no luck. and what do you mean by "make sure its the correct gpu"? Thanks Nuggets!

So the gpu is what it says it is,  Another curious thing, i reinstalled windows and the gpu runs with no issue, but the computer doesnt read it in the device manager as a 970, but in safe mode it will. I had to install the drivers for the card in safe mode cause it will crash otherwise, but once the drivers are installed, it will crash once the windows logo starts during bootup. If i dont install drivers for it, it will run fine
