Just finished my build, have a gtx 660 ti 3gb, 8gbs of ram, amd fx 8320 and a asrock 970 e4, the pc runs fine while browsing the web and it was working fine just playing LoL, but once i had all my drivers and other games installed I tried to stream rust and I started getting this random rainbow line glitches over the screen then the gpu crashed....then it crashed again and again like 6 times back to back... (tdrs) I turned the pc off for 30 minutes then rebooted and it worked fine again just browsing the web etc... once I tried to run a game it started again... random glitches and crashes,then I started to get BSoD on start up, again turned it off for a while then it works fine again... I have a old 750w corsiar psu that worked fine in my other pc but my other pc was just a old dual core cpu with a old nvidia 512mb gpu in it (not sure what it was).... so I hope its just the psu cause I bought a 160$ one out of frustration. heres a video I just recorded of me trying to play lol...

It could be either, my bet is on the gpu being defective. The only way to be 100% sure is to replace it with another or try it in another rig.

I dont have another pc to setup on, at least one with a psu that I'm positive can handle it, I will see when my new psu gets here, already set up everything to put in a rma for the gpu if it is not the psu... did you watch the video?

I don't think it has to do with the PSU. I suspect the driver having issue, see if you can completely uninstall it, restart the PC, install it via GeForce Experience

I went through all the troubleshoots and everything lead to bad gpu, too bad I already bought the psu lol.. sending the gpu back for a new one when I can.
