NEW GPU Fails Under Load

[ChromeMango]

Specs:

i5-6500

Asus B250 M-A (Only some months new)

Patriot 8GB Ram

PSU is from some workstation, like 700w.

Phoenix Pro SSD

 

I bought a brand new EVGA GTX 1050 from amazon, (replacing my old HD 5970).

It just fails under load, sometimes even just browsing internet. I can't play games; I can't  run Kombustor (stress test it).

 

-The screen will cut to black or just lose signal. 

-I've tried DDU a couple of times, reinstalling the drivers.

-I've even completely uninstalled windows and reinstalled it, resetting everything.

-I've ordered a replacement GPU and it does the same exact thing

-BIOS is updated (1205)

-Messing with the GPU clock settings doesn't do anything

Have you tested this graphics card in another system?

By fails what do you mean ? Does it turn the system off, what is the issue in particular ?

The display shows no signal. Computer is still on and fans spinning. It's like the drivers fail.

No, but I've gotten a replacement. This is my second new card. It did the same with my first card.

They might have just been lazy and sent back the first card. Have you tried taking the video cable out and putting it back in when this happens?

They didn't get lazy, I still have the first card. I've yet to send it back lol. And tried that just now.
