Might seem like a silly question, but I bought a 750ti 2gb (second hand) and when i loaded my computer (It had AMD drivers on it) my starting windows screen had white lines all over it, probably VRAM? I was wondering if it was anything to do with my motherboard or maybe not removing my AMD drivers prior to putting the card in?.. I returned it anyway because after removing the AMD drivers and installing NVIDIA drivers, my PC would no longer boot up. After starting windows screen it would blackscreen and then restart my pc.. ordered a brand new one this time, waiting for it in the mail... any ideas if I done something wrong the first time?
 
The problem had to do with not removing your AMD drivers.

How did you remove the AMD drivers when you went back.

Also does "no longer boot" mean?? Does not power on, powers on and shuts off, powers on but does not display, powers on and see post screen but does not load windows??

@boosted1g It loads up the "Starting Windows" screen, when it finishes it goes black, resets my system then does nothing, no sound, no visual input at all.

I uninstalled the drivers by uninstalling catalyst control center, when you choose to do this, it asks if you want to uninstall all drivers for the card, I done that then installed my NVIDIA drivers, It failed atleast 3 times and it said each of those 3 times It could not find my card. It also said I had no display adapter in Device Manager.

@neptunus3001 The white lines would only appear on the "Starting Windows" screen, I could get to the desktop etc but the resolution was locked to 800x600 because there were no drivers for the card on the pc, only AMD.
 


Looks like the 750Ti card was faulty.

The AMD drivers should not effect the system, as the card is not ATI the drivers are ignored from the system and It load the universal driver.

So while the system is in post (no problem), then with the universal drivers you have lines and then with nVidia drivers you have problem, this behavior shows that when the card is used more intensively the problem worsen, so it could be defective hardware.

last question: Did you check that the PSU is enough for the card?
