Hi,
So last night I just got my brand new EVGA GTX 1050 TI 4 GB. MY old AMD 6870 was going out.
So I removed the old card, put in the new one. Started up, installed the latest 376.19 driver. And things were going good. I played around on various games re-adjusting graphics settings and what not. I shut the computer down for the evening.
Now on start up the display goes out at any given point. OR the PC beeps and then a red light stays on, on my motherboard near the PCI slot the card is in. I can't reliably use my PC with the 1050 TI in it because the boot up and display is hit and miss. I am on a basic computer right now.
When I finally did get it to boot up before any display issues I uninstalled my old AMD drivers, just through the control panel method, no DDU.
I went to start Skyrim, and on a loading screen the display went completely blank but green. So I had a green screen. I have seen blue screens black screens and even a screen that like like old blocky 8-bit graphics, or simply no display at all like if you unplugged the HDMI cable (I use an HDMI to a TV)
The old issue with my AMD 6870 was it would just go out display-wise as well but then teh fans went blowing super crazy, and was a little hot while playing games around 70 degrees Celsius. So I got the 1050 TI for a replacement. Like I said it worked ok at first, no issues but after shutting down and restarting this all started happening.
I am not smart with building computers, I only know how to put in graphics cards because this is the 3rd time I have had to replace one. Both my 2 previous were AMD 6870s. I know nothing about BIOS set ups or anything, and when I did try to go in just to look the display went out to a black screen anyway.
I have reinserted the card a couple times and seat seems good, it is in there.
I am not overclocking anything, and never have.
